While EKGs are valuable tools, they have certain limitations:
They provide only a snapshot of the heartâs electrical activity at a single point in time. They may not detect intermittent arrhythmias or other transient conditions. Interpretation can be challenging due to the normal variations in pediatric EKGs based on age and growth. They sometimes require supplemental testing, such as echocardiography or Holter monitoring, for a comprehensive evaluation.
