In the case of abnormal EKGs at baseline, the use of a TCA, as well as potential risks and benefits, needs to be carefully reevaluated. In addition, a family history of premature cardiac problems or a personal history of cardiac disease, especially structural and conduction abnormalities, should warrant consultation with a pediatric cardiologist before starting medications. Parents and patients should be aware of the potential risk for...

Important practical clinical information and understanding are made available by the electrocardiographic exanunation. Of particular importance to both pediatricians and pediatric cardiologists, however, is the fact that the electrocardiogram varies so extensively with the age of the patient. Understanding this has been an issue since the ECG began to be used in pediatric patients and continued later when the difficulties were even more problematic at the time when computerization of pediatric electrocardiography was initially xm-dertaken. 

The study population consisted of 1884 healthy newborns, infants, children and adolescents enrolled from nurseries, well-baby clinics, kindergartens, and elementary and secondary schools. All children were screened by a specially designed questionnaire, then examined on supine position by a pediatrician, and checked by a pediatric cardiologist. Age was expressed as days, months and years attained at the last birthday. They were divided into twelve age groups newborns aged less than 1 day, 1-3 days, 3-7 days, and 7-30 days infants aged 1-3 months, 3-6 months, and 6-12 months children of 1-3 years, 3-6 years, 6-9 years, 9-13 years and adolescents, 13-18 years.
