Key result
Clinical evaluation and electrocardiographic vectorial analysis resulted in accurate diagnosis in 122 of 128 children (95.3%) with anatomically confirmed interatrial communications.
Why the study?
Can clinical methods, particularly electrocardiographic vectorial analysis, accurately differentiate types of interatrial communications in children?
Observational (n=128)
Can clinical methods, particularly electrocardiographic vectorial analysis, accurately differentiate types of interatrial communications in children?
Vectorial analysis of the electrocardiogram is a highly useful clinical tool for differentiating between types of interatrial communications in children based on QRS loop direction.

Supports ECG vectorial analysis for differentiation in children; hypothesis-generating and leaves open prospective validation before practice change.
DuShane et al. (1960) conducted an observational in Interatrial communications (n=128). Clinical evaluation and electrocardiographic vectorial analysis was evaluated on Accurate diagnosis of defect type. Clinical evaluation and electrocardiographic vectorial analysis resulted in accurate diagnosis in 122 of 128 children (95.3%) with anatomically confirmed interatrial communications.
