This is Part 2 of a two-part series about the approach to pediatric ECGs. This series will cover how to systematically interpret a pediatric ECG, how the forces within the heart change and progress after birth, how to recognize a normal pediatric ECG at different points in childhood, and how to recognize common pediatric ECG abnormalities. This part will discuss voltages and repolarization and work through a few more cases.

Use this handout as a quick resource to check the normative lead-independent and precordial lead ECG measurements for boys and girls. This handout was created by Eric King, a medical student at the University of Alberta, with the help of Dr. Karen Forbes, a pediatric hospital and medical educator at the University of Alberta.
