Electrocardiogram characteristics and possible associated factors in healthy Japanese children: the Tohoku Medical Megabank Project Birth and Three-Generation Cohort Study
This study described the ECG characteristics of Japanese children and found a relation between parents and children. ECG parameters in children aged 4-9 correlate with those in their parents, but not with sex or BMI. In particular, mother's ECG was strongly associated with that of children than father's ECG. The relation might be reflected by both genetic background and uterine environment.
