What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Evaluation of symptoms of arrhythmia by Holter study in children
Time Frame: 1 year

Symptoms attributed to possible cardiac arrhythmias, such as syncope, palpitations, dizziness, or chest pain are frequent complaints in children presenting to the emergency department (ED). Most commonly they are due to non-cardiac etiologies such as musculoskeletal, psychogenic, gastrointestinal, pulmonary, or idiopathic causes.

Cardiac Holter monitors can provide information about the correlation between the patients' symptoms and electrocardiographic activities, asymptomatic arrhythmias, type of arrhythmia and how long it lasts, possible arrhythmia triggers, and the effectiveness of antiarrhythmic medication
