Overview

Electrocardiogram findings in a child of congenital rubella syndrome depends on the type of heart defect (mostly PDA) and its severity.

Electrocardiogram

The most common heart defect in congenital rubella syndrome is PDA. In a small PDA, the EKG is normal. In large PDA, left ventricular and left atrial enlargement due volume overload may be demonstrated. There may be biventricular hypertrophy also.
