ECG-At birth the two cardiac ventricles are of similar weight; by 2 months of age the RV : LV weight ratio is 0.5. These changes are reflected in the infant’s electrocardiogram (ECG). During the first months of life the right ventricle (RV) dominance is apparent, but by 4–6 months of age the left ventricle (LV) is dominant. As the heart develops during childhood, the sizes of the P wave and QRS complex increase, and the P‐R interval and QRS duration become longer.

The infant has a relatively small stroke volume (1.5 ml/kg at birth) but has the highest cardiac index seen at any stage of life (300 ml/min/kg). Cardiac index decreases with age and is 100 ml/min/kg in adolescence and 70–80 ml/min/kg in the adult. At the same time the stroke volume increases, as the heart gets bigger and muscle mass relative to connective tissue increases. As cardiac output is the product of stroke volume and heart rate, these changes underlie the heart rate changes seen during childhood (see Table 1.1). In addition, the average infant is only able to increase heart rate by approximately 30% vs the adult who may be able to increase heart rate under stress by up to 300%.

Researchers from the University of British Columbia suggest that ketone drinks sold as a food supplement might help people with diabetes to keep their blood glucose levels under control.
