Key result
Transtelephonic ECG aids documentation of true arrhythmias in children with palpitations to guide antiarrhythmic therapy.
Why the study?
Documentation of symptoms suggesting arrhythmia in children is difficult when symptoms are infrequent or brief, yet necessary for appropriate treatment selection.
Population
Children with symptoms suggesting cardiac arrhythmia
Comparison
Use of transtelephonic electrocardiography vs no documented method

Supports transtelephonic ECG for arrhythmia documentation before pediatric therapy; leaves open prospective validation before practice change.
Documentation of true arrhythmias is necessary before initiating treatment in children with symptoms of fast or irregular heartbeats.
Robert L. Williams (1978) conducted a review in Symptoms suggesting cardiac arrhythmia. Transtelephonic Electrocardiography was evaluated. Transtelephonic electrocardiography aids in the imperative documentation of true arrhythmias in children with palpitations to guide appropriate antiarrhythmic therapy.
