What is the diagnostic yield of cardiac event recorders in pediatric patients with potentially arrhythmia-related symptoms?
Cardiac event recorders are a useful primary diagnostic tool in children with arrhythmia-related symptoms, yielding a symptom-rhythm correlation of 39%.
Saygı et al. (2016) conducted an observational in Potentially arrhythmia-related symptoms (n=460). Cardiac event recorder was evaluated on Symptom-rhythm correlation. In pediatric patients with potentially arrhythmia-related symptoms, the use of a cardiac event recorder yielded a symptom-rhythm correlation of 39%.
