Summary

Key Learning Points
1. ECGs can be used for monitoring or diagnostic purposes.
2. Classically, in anaesthesia and the intensive care unit, a three-lead configuration is utilised.
3. The cardiac axis describes the summation of myocardial electrical potentials.
4. Classical ECG changes are described for electrolyte abnormalities.
5. The QT interval is dependent on the heart rate, for as the rate increases, the period for diastole decreases.

We present the case of an infant with a single functional ventricle who developed ventricular dysfunction and heart failure due to an electrical activation delay and dyssynchrony. Earlier recognition of this potentially reversible aetiology may have changed her poor outcome.

We describe three infants < 3 months of age seen consecutively with dilated cardiomyopathy who presented initially with left bundle branch block on the surface 12-lead electrocardiogram. Each infant subsequently had a poor outcome: two died and one required heart transplantation. These results suggest that the presence of left bundle branch block on the 12-lead electrocardiogram conveys a poor prognosis in infants with dilated cardiomyopathy.
