Key result
Smartphone-based ECG monitoring aids symptom-rhythm correlation in paediatric patients.
Why the study?
Establishing symptom-rhythm correlation in children with episodic palpitations and related symptoms is challenging but critical for accurate diagnosis and management.
Does smartphone-based wireless electrocardiogram monitoring establish symptom-rhythm correlation in pediatric patients with palpitations?

Does smartphone-based wireless electrocardiogram monitoring establish symptom-rhythm correlation in pediatric patients with palpitations?
Smartphone-based wireless ECG monitoring may be utilized to establish symptom-rhythm correlation in pediatric patients experiencing episodic palpitations.
May support smartphone ECG for symptom-rhythm correlation in pediatric palpitations; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.
Children frequently present with symptoms of palpitations. These symptoms can occur in isolation or in association with other presentations such as chest pain, presyncope, or syncope. Usually, their symptoms are episodic in occurrence; therefore, establishment of symptom-rhythm correlation is challenging but critical for accurate diagnosis and management. We reviewed the use of smartphone-based wireless electrocardiogram monitoring with AliveCor Kardia, to establish symptom-rhythm correlation in a paediatric case series at a single Canadian tertiary care centre.

Taylor et al. (2022) conducted an observational in Palpitations. Smartphone-based wireless electrocardiogram monitoring (AliveCor Kardia) was evaluated on Symptom-rhythm correlation. A review of a paediatric case series described the use of smartphone-based wireless electrocardiogram monitoring (AliveCor Kardia) to establish symptom-rhythm correlation.
