Age-dependent Dynamics of the Electrocardiographic Parameters in Cardiovascular Disease-Free Children
This study defined the values of five key ECG parameters, with enhanced age-specific resolution in neonates, infants, and children. Neonatal age emerged as the most dynamic stage for ECG parameter changes. This study demonstrated that high temporal resolution of age-specific ECG parameters can identify abnormal deviations, which can provide valuable insight for the diagnosis and management of CVD in early life.
