    Left-axis deviation in children without other abnormalities appears benign in the short term. Longer follow-up is needed to determine the ultimate prognosis of this electrocardiographic finding.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Cardiology
    • Electrocardiography
    • Clinical Electrophysiology

    Background:

    • Left-axis deviation (LAD) is an electrocardiographic finding that can be associated with various cardiac conditions.
    • In pediatric populations, the significance of isolated LAD requires further elucidation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report on a cohort of children with isolated left-axis deviation.
    • To assess the short-term clinical and electrocardiographic outcomes in these patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of electrocardiograms (ECGs) in 18 children with left-axis deviation.
    • Clinical follow-up to monitor for cardiovascular events and changes in ECG findings.

    Main Results:

    • Eighteen children with isolated left-axis deviation were identified.

  • No cardiovascular events occurred during the follow-up period.
  • Electrocardiographic findings remained stable in all patients.

    • Conclusions:

    • Isolated left-axis deviation in children appears to be a benign finding in the short term.
    • Further long-term follow-up is necessary to establish the definitive prognosis.
