“Pearls and Pitfalls in Pediatric Electrocardiography: From Neonates to Adolescents.”

Welcome to today’s session: “Pearls and Pitfalls in Pediatric Electrocardiography: From Neonates to Adolescents.” I’m Dr. Mehrdad from www.mcardio.org and my YouTube channel mcardio1287.
Electrocardiography in children is not just a smaller version of adult ECG interpretation. From the neonatal period through adolescence, the heart undergoes profound developmental changes. Without recognizing these shifts, clinicians risk labeling normal tracings as abnormal—or worse, missing subtle yet life-threatening findings.
In this video, we’ll cover:
✅ Age-adjusted reference values (HR, PR, QRS, QTc, axis)
✅ Normal variants vs abnormal tracings (juvenile T-waves, early repolarization, right ventricular dominance in neonates)
✅ Common pitfalls and misinterpretations
✅ Real case-based examples from clinical practice
✅ A structured approach for cardiologists, pediatric cardiologists, and fellows preparing for boards
By the end, you’ll have practical tools to read pediatric ECGs with confidence and precision.
