Key result
Short-duration ECG monitoring may miss intermittent ventricular tachycardia episodes during daily activities.
Why the study?
The occurrence of ventricular tachycardia during daily activities is incompletely characterized outside conventional electrophysiology monitoring settings, with intermittent episodes potentially missed by short-duration ECG recordings and limited recording capacity systems.

Highlights limitations of short-duration ECG monitoring for detecting ventricular tachycardia during daily activities, suggesting continuous assessment is needed to evaluate sudden cardiac death risk.
Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is associated with an increased risk of sudden cardiac death. Yet, its occurrence during daily activities remains incompletely characterized outside conventional electrophysiology monitoring settings. Intermittent episodes may be missed by short-duration ECG recordings and monitoring systems with limited recording capacity.
