electrocardiogram (ekg)

What are common pediatric EKG findings?

Some common findings in pediatric EKGs include:
Normal Sinus Rhythm: The typical rhythm of a healthy heart.
Sinus Bradycardia: A slower than normal heart rate, which can be normal in well-trained athletes.
Sinus Tachycardia: A faster than normal heart rate, which can be caused by fever, anxiety, or other conditions.
Premature Atrial Contractions (PACs) and Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVCs): Early heartbeats originating from the atria or ventricles, respectively. These can be benign or indicative of underlying heart disease.
Left or Right Ventricular Hypertrophy: Thickening of the ventricular walls, which can be a sign of congenital heart disease or other conditions.
