Normal electrocardiogram values of healthy children
AIM: Electrocardiography is an important diagnostic tool in the evaluation of cardiac diseases. Normal electrocardiograms are age-dependent and may also vary due to several factors. Many studies have been performed to establish the normal values for the childhood period. The aim of this study was to...

description | AIM: Electrocardiography is an important diagnostic tool in the evaluation of cardiac diseases. Normal electrocardiograms are age-dependent and may also vary due to several factors. Many studies have been performed to establish the normal values for the childhood period. The aim of this study was to determine the normal electrocardiograms values for healthy Turkish children in Aydın. MATERIAL AND METHODS: All children underwent physical examination by a pediatrician and the electrocardiograms were analyzed by the same pediatrician. In the event of improper or insufficient data, the analyses were repeated. Children with a suspicious electrocardiograms or physical examination were recalled and examined by same pediatric cardiologist in outpatient clinic. RESULTS: In this study, electrocardiogram records were collected randomly from 1163 children with a sampling rate of 500 Hz. Of the children, 562 were female (47.4%) and 601 were male (52.6%). The total population was divided into ten age groups. Significant differences in normal limits were determined compared with previously published studies. CONCLUSION: The observed differences in various electrocardiograms parameters could be related to biologic variability and to some technical details such as precordial electrode placement and visual checking of the records in addition to race. |
