3 OVERVIEW Pediatric EKG interpretation Normal variants Pediatric Tachyarrhythmias Pediatric Bradycardias Miscellaneous
4 Cardiac Conduction System
5 Pediatric EKG Interpretation - Get familiar with the EKG machine - Be organized and methodical - Look at EVERY EKG the same way, no matter how abnormal it appears - Describe findings - Think of differential diagnosis of each abnormal finding - Integrate EKG with history, PE, and other patient data to formulate diagnosis
6 Technique The 12 lead EKG includes recordings from: Standard bipolar leads I, II and III Augmented leads avf, avl and avr Standard unipolar precordial leads V1 to V6 In a 15 lead EKG: The right-sided leads V3R, V4R and V7 are recorded additionally In addition, a longer recording of a single lead (usually lead II) is obtained to analyze the rhythm more precisely Lead II is chosen for most EKG interval measurements, as it is parallel to the long axis of the heart
7
8 V1: Fourth intercostal space to the right of the sternum. V2: Fourth intercostal space to the Left of the sternum. V3: Directly between leads V2 and V4. V4: Fifth intercostal space at midclavicular line. V5: Level with V4 at left anterior axillary line. V6: Level with V5 at left midaxillary line. (Directly under the midpoint of the armpit)
9 IMPORTANT POINTS TO CONSIDER o Was EKG properly obtained? Correct lead placement Normal paper speed (25 mm per second) Appropriate sensitivity full standard 1mV = 10 mm deflection limb and chest leads may NOT be the same standard o How old is the patient? Normals are age dependent
10 QRS Standardization 1 millivolt PR QT interval Full Half 0.2 secs

17 EKG ANALYSIS Rhythm Rate Axis Morphology Intervals Hypertrophy
18 Heart Rate Using a normal paper speed of 25 mm/second, Each small box on the EKG = 1 mm or 0.04 seconds. Each large box, or 5 mm, = 0.20 seconds.
19 Calculating Heart Rate Method 1: Count the number of small squares between the R-R intervals and divide 1500 by the number of small squares Method 2: Count the number of large squares between the R-R intervals and divide 300 by the number of large squares
20 Calculating Heart Rate Method 3: Count and multiply the number of QRS complexes on the 12 lead ECG paper by 6 to obtain the heart rate (it takes 10 secs to record an EKG). Method 4: Memorize heart rate for selected RR intervals ( ) Start
21 Sinus Arrhythmia
22 EKG ANALYSIS Rhythm Rate Axis Morphology Intervals Hypertrophy
23 Axis determination Leads I and avf are normally used to determine the QRS axis. Normal axis: Positive QRS in leads I and avf. Left axis deviation: Positive QRS in lead I and negative QRS in lead avf. Right axis deviation: Negative QRS in lead I and a positive QRS in lead avf. Indeterminate axis: Negative QRS in lead I and avf, also referred to as extreme RAD.

52 OVERVIEW Pediatric EKG interpretation Normal variants Pediatric Tachyarrhythmias Pediatric Bradycardias Miscellaneous
53 Introduction o Rhythm disturbances in children Primary Secondary Associated with cardiac disease o The major risk of any arrhythmia is decreased cardiac output or degeneration into more critical arrhythmia, leading to syncope or death o Therefore it is important to determine the potential for any arrhythmia to degenerate into critical arrhythmia
54 General Principles o Symptoms may vary depending on the age o Recording of a suspected arrhythmia is necessary before diagnosing or treating a suspected arrhythmia o The urgency of work up and treatment depends on Symptom severity Cardiac structure & function Activity profile of a patient o P/E most often may be entirely normal
55 General Principles In evaluating a patient with arrhythmia associated with hemodynamic compromise, THINK SIMPLE. Fast/ disorganized: cardioversion/ defibrillation Slow: CPR
56 OVERVIEW Pediatric EKG interpretation Normal variants Pediatric Tachyarrhythmias Pediatric Bradycardias Miscellaneous
57 Normal Variants Recognition of normal variants is important to allay anxiety and to avoid unnecessary investigations Sinus arrhythmia: Phasic variations in heart rate with inspiratory acceleration and expiratory deceleration
58 Wandering atrial pacemaker: Characterized by different P wave morphologies on the same EKG Related to alterations in vagal tone Wenckebach phenomena: Progressive lengthening of PR interval followed by a dropped beat. Related to alterations in vagal tone
59 Variations in heart rate: Sinus tachycardia: Has been documented at rates at bpm Always look for a secondary cause Differentiated from SVT: variations with activity/ crying, and presence of secondary cause Sinus bradycardia: Sinus rate below expected for patient s age A highly conditioned athlete may have resting heart rate less than 40 bpm Be careful to rule out other causes like increased intracranial pressure, eating disorders, gastric distension, pharyngeal stimulation, toxins and drugs
60 Early Repolarization: - J-point elevation (of no more than 3 mm) with an upwardly concave ST segment - ST-segment elevation is more frequent in chest leads but can occur in leads I and II - Prevalent in young, African American males - Can be affected by exercise and hyperventilation
61 OVERVIEW Pediatric EKG interpretation Normal variants Pediatric Tachyarrhythmias Pediatric Bradycardias Miscellaneous
62 Evaluation of a child with an arrhythmia History: Accurate description may vary with age Important questions to ask: - How frequently and for how long do these episodes occur? - How does it begin and terminate? - What, if anything, initiates the episodes? - What, if anything, terminates the episodes? - History of caffeine intake, or any other meds? - In infants, enquire for symptoms of heart failure
63 Evaluation of a child with an arrhythmia Physical Examination: In setting of acute arrhythmia: - Check for signs of hemodynamic instability (suggested by evidence of poor cardiac output, hypotension, shock, altered mental status, and respiratory distress) In the setting of paroxysmal episodes: - Evaluate for any exacerbating factors e.g. fever, anemia, hyperthyroidism - Evaluate for any congenital heart defects that frequently are associated with arrhythmias - Evaluate for any infectious conditions
64 Diagnostic Testing EKG in sinus rhythm - Baseline rhythm - Conduction and repolarization intervals - Axes - Evidence of hypertrophy - Other abnormalities like pre-excitation, abnormal T wave morphology, etc EKG in arrhythmia accurate diagnosis Others: - Holter if daily symptoms - Event monitors (external or implantable) if more sporadic
65 Diagnostic Approach Three questions will define majority of the arrhythmias 1. Is the arrhythmia regular or irregular? 2. Are the QRS complexes narrow or wide? 3. What is the relationship between the P waves and the QRS complexes?
66 1. Is the arrhythmia regular or irregular? Regular Sinus tachycardia SVT Escape rhythms VT Irregular Sinus tachycardia Sinus arrhythmia Ectopic beats Advanced degree heart blocks AF/VF VT
67 2. Are the QRS complexes narrow or wide? Narrow QRS complexes: - Supraventricular - Junctional Wide QRS complexes: - Ventricular in origin - Paced complexes - Supraventricular if ass. with baseline BBB if ass. with rate dependent aberrancy if ass. with pre-excitation
68 3. What is the relationship between P waves and QRS complexes? 1:1 AV relationship: SVT Occ. VT > 1:1 AV relationship: Ectopic atrial tachycardia Multifocal atrial tachycardia Atrial flutter < 1:1 AV relationship: VT Junctional ectopic tachycardia
69
70 Narrow Complex Tachycardia - SVT
71 Wide Complex Tachycardia - VT
72 WPW syndrome
73 Atrial Flutter
74 Atrial fibrillation
75 Ectopic Atrial Tachycardia (with Variable Ventricular Response)
76 In pts with hemodynamic stable narrow complex tachycardia, adenosine can be diagnostic if not therapeutic.
77
78 Multifocal Atrial Tachycardia
79
80 Junctional Ectopic Tachycardia
81 Long QT syndrome
82 Torsade's de Pointes
83 OVERVIEW Pediatric EKG interpretation Normal variants Pediatric Tachyarrhythmias Pediatric Bradycardias Miscellaneous
84 The diagnostic possibilities of bradycardia are limited Sinus node dysfunction Clinical syndrome characterized by - Chronic SA nodal dysfunction - AV nodal conduction disturbances - Alternating bradycardia and tachycardia (the bradycardiatachycardia syndrome) - Commonly with underlying atrial fibrillation (AF) or atrial flutter
85 Heart blocks/ AV node dysfunction: Atrioventricular (AV) block is defined as a delay or interruption in the transmission of an atrial impulse to the ventricles due to an anatomical or functional impairment in the conduction system First-degree AV block occurs when the PR-interval is greater than the upper limits of normal for age. In general, the normal PR-intervals are: 70 to 170 msec in newborns, and 80 to 220 msec in young children and adults It reportedly occurs in up to 6 percent of normal neonates
86 Second-degree AV block, the organized atrial impulse fails to be conducted to the ventricle in a 1:1 ratio Mobitz type 1 block (Wenckebach phenomena): - There is progressive prolongation of the PR-interval until a P wave fails to be conducted. - Mobitz type 1 block is seen in normal children and young adults especially at times of high parasympathetic tone (e.g., sleep or in well-trained athletes) - It usually does not progress to complete block
87 Mobitz type 2 block: - The PR interval remains unchanged prior to the P wave that suddenly fails to conduct to the ventricles - It is associated with various forms of congenital heart disease and is seen after cardiac surgery. - Type 2 block occurs at or below the level of the AV node, indicating disease within the His bundle and bundle branches. - It has a less predictable course and frequently progresses to complete heart block
88 Third-degree AV block (Complete heart block): - There is complete failure of the atrial impulse to be conducted to the ventricles. - The atrial and ventricular activity are independent of one another. - The escape rhythm (usually slower than the lower limits of normal for age) is dictated by the location of the block - It can be either congenital or acquired

103 Hyperkalemia
104 Hyperkalemia The earliest changes of hyperkalemia are - Appearance of peaked, narrow T waves - Shortened QT interval, which reflect abnormally rapid repolarization At a plasma K concentration 7 to 8 meq/l (changes due to delayed depolarization) - Widening of the QRS complex - Decreased amplitude with widening and eventual loss of the P wave, PR prolongation can also occur - Followed sometimes by second-degree or third-degree AV block Final changes - Sine-wave pattern, in which the widened QRS complex merges with the T wave - Followed by ventricular fibrillation or asystole
105 Hyperkalemia The earliest changes of hyperkalemia are - Appearance of peaked, narrow T waves - Shortened QT interval, which reflect abnormally rapid repolarization At a plasma K concentration 7 to 8 meq/l (changes due to delayed depolarization) - Widening of the QRS complex - Decreased amplitude with widening and eventual loss of the P wave, PR prolongation can also occur - Followed sometimes by second-degree or third-degree AV block Final changes - Sine-wave pattern, in which the widened QRS complex merges with the T wave - Followed by ventricular fibrillation or asystole
106 EKG changes with CNS Disease ECG abnormalities occur most often in patients with SAH, ischemic stroke, ICH, head trauma, neurosurgical procedures, acute meningitis, intracranial space-occupying tumors, and epilepsy The prevalence of EKG abnormalities in this group of patients varies from 50 to 90% Most common findings are depressed ST segments, flat or inverted T waves, prominent U waves, and prolongation of the QTc
107 Hypothermia EKG features of hypothermia - The Osborn wave, also known as the J wave, is a hump-like deflection between the QRS complex and the early part of the ST segment - Shivering artifacts due to muscular tremor - Sinus bradycardia - QRS prolongation, prolongation of the PR interval & QTc - Atrial fibrillation is common below 32 C - Risk of ventricular fibrillation is high below 28 C
