Using Holter monitoring in children with heart symptoms
This study uses a Holter monitor, a portable device that records heartbeats over time, to check for irregular heart rhythms in children who have symptoms like dizziness or palpitations. The goal is to better understand and diagnose these symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Must be a child (typically under 18 years old).
- Must have symptoms that suggest a need for heart monitoring, such as palpitations, dizziness, or fainting.
- Must be scheduled for a Holter monitor test that lasts at least 24 hours.
- The Holter recording must be at least 6 hours long to be included in the study.

This study checks heart function in children and young adults who had surgery to fix Tetralogy of Fallot. It uses echo, ECG, and Holter monitoring to see how the heart is doing after repair.
This study checks whether a wearable ECG patch can correctly record heart electrical signals and help identify abnormal rhythms (arrhythmias) in children. If it works well, it could make future heart rhythm monitoring more accurate for pediatric patients who need regular Holter (long ECG) monitoring.
This study tests if a smartwatch can detect irregular heartbeats as well as a standard Holter monitor. If you have symptoms like palpitations, pre-syncope, or dizziness and are already scheduled for a Holter test, this trial may offer a simpler way to monitor your heart.
This study uses a portable Hativ® ECG patch to monitor your heart at home for up to 14 days, aiming to catch irregular rhythms that a single office EKG might miss. It's for people with suspicious symptoms (like palpitations or dizzy spells) who haven't gotten a clear diagnosis yet.
This study looks at people who have frequent abnormal signals from the upper heart (supraventricular extra beats or short runs) and how that relates to atrial fibrillation risk. If you qualify, you may help researchers understand better ways to prevent or manage certain heart rhythm problems.
This study checks a more detailed kind of heart recording (ECG) using many small sensors to better measure electrical rhythm problems. It may help doctors refine how they assess risk in people with serious or suspected dangerous heart rhythm issues.
