Electrocardiographic Characteristics in 438 Neonates with Atrial Septal Defects

In conclusion, ASDs are associated with ECG changes from the neonatal phase. TheP-wave duration and PR interval are longer in neonates with ASDs when compared to controls as early as the first week after birth, indicating that these changes are not purely secondary, but that neonates with an ASD have altered cardiac electrical activity.ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT02753348 (April 27, 2016)
