Key result
Transtelephonic ECG monitoring yields adequate transmissions during symptoms in 59% of pediatric patients.
Why the study?
The utility of transtelephonic electrocardiography for transient symptomatic event recording in pediatric patients with and without prior arrhythmia diagnoses was evaluated.
Does transtelephonic electrocardiography effectively record and diagnose transient symptomatic events in pediatric patients?
Population
61 consecutive pediatric patients aged 4 months to 21 years with transient symptomatic events
Comparison
Patients with previous arrhythmia diagnoses vs patients without prior diagnoses
Design
Observational cohort study

Does transtelephonic electrocardiography effectively record and diagnose transient symptomatic events in pediatric patients?
Transtelephonic electrocardiography is a useful tool for evaluating transient symptoms in pediatric patients, particularly for palpitations rather than chest pain.
Mary Ann M. Goldstein (1990) conducted an observational in Transient symptomatic events consistent with an arrhythmia (n=61). Transtelephonic electrocardiographic monitoring was evaluated on Adequate transmissions during symptoms. Transtelephonic electrocardiographic monitoring yielded adequate transmissions during symptoms in 59% (36 of 61) of pediatric patients.
