Summary The prevalence of signs of heart involvement was studied non‐invasively with orthogonal and conventional ECG, apexcardiogram, carotid pulse tracing and phonocardiogram in a group of untreated hypertensives (n = 35) and a reference group (n = 73). All were derived by screening a random population sample of 50‐year‐old men.
