Implication

Requires age-adjusted ECG norms in children; extends sparse pediatric data but leaves open prospective validation of standards.

Structured PICO

Population

I
Intervention
Precordial lead electrocardiogram
O
Outcome
Precordial lead electrocardiogram characteristics (specifically T wave morphology)surrogate

Normal children frequently exhibit an upright T wave in precordial ECG leads, differing from established adult criteria and highlighting the need for pediatric-specific ECG standards.
