Electrocardiogram

An electrocardiogram will appear differently depending on the severity of disease onset. In general, one can expect:

  1. Small PDA: the EKG is normal.
  2. Medium-sized PDA: there is LVH, LA increase, prolonged PR interval and eventual atrial fibrillation.
  3. Large-sized PDA: is similar to that of a VSD complicated by pulmonary hypertension. One can also expect:
    1. Evidence of LVH is decreased or absent because there is essentially normal volume work by the LV.
    2. There is RVH instead with a large R wave in V1. No Rsr' like ASD.
    3. Marked right axis deviation is common.
    4. Peaked RA p waves are present
