Overview
Electrocardiogram
The normal neonatal electrocardiogram (ECG) has right axis deviation (QRS axis +90 to +180 degrees) and a precordial pattern of right ventricular hypertrophy.
- Lesions associated with a small right ventricle have the following:
- Left axis deviation for age (for pulmonary atresia intact ventricular septum typically +30 to +90 degrees; for tricuspid atresia with normally related great arteries typically -30 to -90 degrees)
- Right atrial enlargement – Tall peaked P waves most easily identified in lead II
- Left ventricular hypertrophy
- Hypoplastic left heart syndrome often has marked right ventricular hypertrophy and decreased left ventricular forces in the lateral precordial leads.
- Ebstein's anomaly has signs of right atrial enlargement or tall and broad 'Himalayan' P waves.
