II° ASD Sinus arrhythmia Clockwise loop with vertical axis Right axis with PAH Left-axis deviation : Holt- Oram syndrome/LAHB RAE P wave axis-inferior and to left with upright p in inferior leads PR interval: may be prolonged,intra-atrial/H-V conduction delay-first-degree AV block
Wide QRS RBBB R’ In v1 and AVR is slurred Crochetage -specific for ASD if present in all inferior lea ds SND occurs as early as 2 years of age Atrial fibrillation,Atrial flutter PAT
Crochetage sign:R wave notch IN ALL INFERIOR LEADS
FOLLOW UP PAH rsR ’ gives way to R in v1 Signs of PAH: RAD/RVH After surgery R may revert to rsR ’ in 40% of patients

VSD Location Hemodynamic burden Associated anomalies Typical features LV volume overload Progressing to BVH
LOCATION PERIMEMBRANOUS VSD INLET VSD MULTIPLE VSD With septal aneurysm-left axis deviation Counterclockwise loop, LAD and prolonged PR interval Clockwise loop with left axis deviation
hemodynamics Accurately reflects underlying hemodynamics Restrictive & small-no changes Deep s in right precordial leads,R in v5,v6-lv volume overload Moderately restrictive-LVH+LAE Non restrictive-BVH and Katz -Wetchel,RAD EISENMENGER-Moderately peaked p waves,RAD,tall monophasic R in v1,deep S in left precordial leads
ASSOCIATED ANAMOLIES PS-early transition AR-marked LVH in presence of restrictive VSD-DEEP Tall Deeply inverted T and coved ST segments in left precordial leads DORV,L-TGA-Similar to VSD
GERBODES’ DEFECT Tall peaked p waves and RAE from infancy, PR prolongation rsr ’ in v1,terminal r in avr and V3r –RV volume overload LV volume overload Increased incidence of arrhythmias Pathognomonic-RAE with LV volume overload
Congenitally corrected transposition
The AV node is displaced outside of Koch’s triangle, anterior and slightly more laterally An elongated His bundle extends toward the site of fibrous continuity between the right-sided mitral valve and pulmonary artery(posterior) It courses across the anterior rim of the pulmonary valve and continues along the superior border of VSD
Conduction system QRS patterns Modifications of P,QRS,ST,T segments
Typical Reversal of the normal Q-wave pattern in the precordial leads: Q waves are present in the right precordial leads but are absent in the left precordial leads Clockwise loop Left axis deviation Upright T waves in all precordial leads –side by side orientation of both ventricles
75% have AV conduction abnormalties 30% have complete heart block Incidence of complete heart block increases by 2% /yr Long bundle length –difficult to localise site of block Sub pulmonic stenosis develops-axis will be right In even in prescence of left AV valve regurgitation and volume overload-no Q waves in left precordial leads
PDA SIMILAR TO VSD QRS axis RAD- infants with respiratory distress Superior/extreme left-Rubella syndrome
AP WINDOW SIMILAR TO non restrictive VSD
D-MALPOSED GA P wave abnormality- if RA recieves shunt or TR develops PR prolongation is seen CHB can develop QRS axis is normal or rightward All 4 chambers enlarged-into RA RVH,LAE,LVH-into RV Only LA,LV-rupture into LA LVH is seen,RVH is seen ,but it occyurs alone it is due to RVOT obstruction by unruptured aneurysm
Without shunt: normal or decreased pulmonary flow Right side of heart Valvular PS DCRV Peripheral PS
Valvular PS Tall monophasic R or qR in v1 Right axis deviation Strain pattern in right precordial leads
SEVERITY OF PS MILD MODERATE SEVERE Normal in 30%-60% of cases Right axis deviation<100° R in v1<10-15mm Upright right precordial T waves after 4 days of age maybe only sign Gradient of 40mm mmHg RVSP<50% of LVSP r/s in v1>4:1 rsR ’ or a small r is present on upstroke of R’ R in v1 <20mm 50%-upright T aves Gradient>40 mm Hg RVSP>50% of LVSP RAD>150° Monophasic R or Qr R >20mm P in lead 2 tall and peaked,in v1 terminal force is written by right atrial dilatation P maybe negative RVSP=LVSP or more Gradient >80 mm Hg Deep inverted T waves ,ST depression beyond v2 and R in v1 >20mm-RVSP>LVSP
PS Special PS with extreme right axis deviation with splintered QRS and QS in inferior leads-dysplastic PS of Noonan syndrome. Infants with severe stenosis, in whom the right ventricle may be hypoplastic, have a more leftward axis than expected (in the range of +30 to +70 degrees) as well as evidence of left ventricular hypertrophy
DCRV RVH can be present But in 40% of cases upright T in v3R can be the only finding
ASD with PS Non restrictive ASD and mild PS like ASD RVH will be disproportionate QRS axis is vertical or rightward rsR ’ in v1-R’will be taller than that due to isolated ASD Severe PS with PFO-resembles isolated severe PS

Typical feature is RAD with RVH/BVH one third of infants with large VSD have normal QRS axis for age. Left-axis deviation - typical in TGA with AV canal types of VSD
TGA with non restrictive ASD Initial normal ECG Developing into RAD with RVH LV not prominent
TGA nonrestrictive VSD RAD Biventricular hypertrophy As PAH increases it evolves into pure RVH
TGA with sub pulmonic obstruction Pure RAD with RVH
