We evaluated the usefulness of ECG in the follow up of 223 hypertensive patients included in a program for the control of hypertension. Yearly ECG was requested in 84.3% of the evaluated patients. Its interpretation resulted in therapeutic changes in 6 patients. The agreement of the interpretation of 122 ECG tracings between the primary care team and a cardiologist was moderate. General practitioners overrated normality (87 versus 69 cases), and underdiagnosed left ventricular hypertrophy (6 versus 10 cases) and ischemic heart disease (6 versus 17 cases). Half of the diagnoses of ischemic heart disease made by the general practitioner were not accepted by the cardiologist. The compliance with a protocol does not guarantee a higher quality of care.
