Abstract
Serial electrocardiograms were taken on 68 healthy full-term infants during their first week of life. The length of the S-T segment decreased and duration of the T wave increased with age. Mid and left precordial T waves tended to be positive at birth and to become negative some hours later. Various factors possilby responsible for these changes are discussed.Keywords
