Using Smartphone Wireless ECG Monitoring to Provide Symptom-Rhythm Correlation in the Paediatric Population.

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.
