Overview
There are no specific ECG findings associated with TGA. However, sometimes electrocardiogram may show right axis deviation and right ventricular hypertrophy.
Electrocardiogram
- The ECG may be normal in the newborn, but in older patients signs of right ventricular hypertrophy may be seen.[1]
- Periodic electrocardiograms and/or 24-hour Holter monitoring to monitor for atrial arrhythmias should be employed, particularly following atrial-level switch operation.[2]
- Varying degrees of AV block may be seen in all patients.
- The right axis deviation is moderate or absent, in patients with a large VSD, low pulmonary vascular resistance, and LV volume overload.
- On the other hand, the right axis deviation is greater if there is a reduced pulmonary arterial blood flow and reduced LV volume as a result of pulmonary vascular disease or pulmonic stenosis.
- Q waves are present in right precordial leads which resembles inferior wall myocardial infarction.
- Q waves are absent in left procordial leads.
