  • Normal Peds EKG Variations
    • Right heart dominance 
      • From infancy to adulthood ventricular dominance transitions from a relatively thicker RV in utero/infancy to thicker LV as adults
      • Right axis deviation 
      • Tall R waves in V1-V3
      • RSR' in V1
      • Deep S waves and Q waves in lateral leads
      • Juvenile T wave pattern in V1-V3
    • Small cardiac size = shorter intervals, faster rate
    • J-point depression
    • Early repolarization
    • Sinus arrhythmia

  • NOT Normal Peds EKG Variations
    • Brugada Syndrome
      • EKG: Leads V1-V3
        • RSR’ with ST elevation
      • 3 Types
        • Type 1 – coved
          • Diagnostic
        • Type 2/3 – saddle-back
    • Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia (ARVD)
      • EKG: Leads V1-V3
        • Epsilon waves
        • Inverted T waves
    • Catecholaminergic Paroxysmal Ventricular Tachycardia (CPVT)
      • EKG:
        • Normal baseline, bidirectional QRS polymorphic Vtach with exertion/excitement
    • Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy (HOCM)
      • EKG: Lateral leads
        • Dagger-like deep narrow Q waves
        • Deep narrow T wave inversions
        • +/- LVH, left axis deviation
    • Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW)
      • EKG:
        • Delta waves
        • Wide QRS
        • Short PQ segment
    • Anomalous Left Coronary Artery from the Pulmonary Artery (ALCAPA)
      • EKG:
        • Anterolateral ischemic changes
        • Lateral leads
          • Deep wide Q waves
          • T wave inversions
    • Long QT Syndrome
      • EKG:
        • QTc > 450ms
        • At risk for Torsade de Pointes/Vtach
