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.
