Abstract
Palpitations in children can be caused by benign or malignant heart rhythms. Documenting the rhythm during symptoms (symptom-rhythm correlation) can be diagnostic but may be challenging to achieve. The AliveCor Kardia monitor is an event recorder developed to detect atrial fibrillation in adults, with its utility in children remaining less rigorously studied. We compared use of the Kardia to the Cardiocall event recorder, our institution’s current standard event recorder for children with palpitations, through a prospective, randomized study of children presenting to pediatric cardiology for investigation of palpitations who require an event recorder for symptom-rhythm correlation.
