The effect of age and gender on the electrocardiogram in children

Abstract: Our aim was to determine, using a computer program for measurement and analysis, the effects, if any, of age and gender on the electrocardiographic measurements in a large cohort of Turkish children. We analyzed standard simultaneous 12-lead electrocardiograms from 2241 healthy Turkish children, aged from 1 day to 16 years, to calculate limits of normality of a variety of electrocardiographic measurements for 12 age groups. Clinically significant differences were shown to exist, and the results compared with p… Show more

“…The present study showed an increase in the PQ interval with age and it was similar between sexes in both children Advance Publication by-J-STAGE than that found by Semizel et al 9 The reasons for these differences among studies are unclear, but might be related to differences in race, age range, number of subjects, or a combination of these because the sampling rate was the same (500 Hz) in the 3 studies. 7,9…”

“…A study in Germany which evaluated normal HR using 24-hour ambulatory electrocardiography found that the gender differences in HR became significant after 10 years of age. 22 It is important to take into account the method used to measure HR as, for example, HR measured by oscillometric devices is reported to be higher than that obtained by clinical estimation. 23 The value obtained by oscillometric devices is actually the true peripheral pulse as it is the basis of generating the various blood pressure values.…”

“…This peak is not an artefact of the modelling method, but can be observed in the primary data from a number of studies that report multiple measurements on infants under one year of age. [20][21][22][23][24][25] The median heart rate in this age range increases from 127 beats/minute at birth, reaching a maximum of 145 beats/minute at approximately one month of age, before decreasing to 113 beats/minute by two years of age.…”
