10 Practice Pediatric Cases:
After reviewing the “Pediatric ECGs: What is Normal” post, try interpreting each ECG using the rules that were discussed before, then decide if the ECG is normal or abnormal. If abnormal, point out which rule is violated. Remember that an ECG is rarely specific for a diagnosis, but if abnormal, this can push you to do further workup.
