description Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing healthcare by offering innovative solutions for diagnosis, treatment, and patient management. Only recently has the field of pediatric cardiology begun to explore the use of deep learning methods to analyze electrocardiogram (ECG) data, aiming to enhance diagnostic accuracy, expedite workflows, and improve patient outcomes. This review examines the current state of AI-enhanced ECG interpretation in pediatric cardiology applications, drawing insights from adult AI-ECG research given the progress in this field. It describes a broad range of AI methodologies, investigates the unique challenges inherent in pediatric ECG analysis, reviews the current state of the literature in pediatric AI-ECG, and discusses potential future directions for research and clinical practice. While AI-ECG applications have demonstrated considerable promise, widespread clinical adoption necessitates further research, rigorous validation, and careful consideration of equity, ethical, legal, and practical challenges.
