2.5.4

In young children, The T wave may be inverted in leads V1-4, and upright in V5 and V6. As a result, the T wave vector (the yellow arrow) is directed more posteriorly than it is in the adult. This is illustrated in this ECG from a 2 year old patient. The T wave gradually evolves into the adult pattern as the child grows into adolescence
