Computer analysis of changes in frank vectorcardiograms of 666 normal infants in the first 72 hours of life.

Abstract:

:Frank vectorcardiograms (VCGs) were collected on magnetic tape for 666 normal newborn infants at 1, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 72 hours after birth and analyzed by computers. The final total included 1,337 VCGs for white babies and 413 for blacks. No previous report has been made for the normal neonate with such a large sample, and no previous substantiation exists of possible age or sex differences at this early age. This study establishes a statistically significant change in vectorcardiographic patterns over the first three days, specifically in the measurements P duration, QRS duration, maximal spatial QRS amplitude, S in lead x, and T in lead z, as well as for several time-normalized QRS vectors. (P less than or equal to .005.) Racial differences were significant for T waves in lead z. This study supports the use of vectorcardiographic standards sensitive to the age of the newborn as well as to race.
