Heart rhythm problems in children visiting the emergency department
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at heart rhythm problems (arrhythmias) in children who come to the emergency department with symptoms like palpitations, chest pain, fainting, or trouble breathing. The goal is to understand how common these rhythm issues are and how they are diagnosed and managed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 1 month and 18 years old.
- Your child must have one or more of these symptoms: heart palpitations (feeling like the heart is fluttering or racing), chest pain, fainting, shortness of breath, or trouble breathing.
- A parent or guardian must give written permission for the child to join the study.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at whether people who come to the emergency room with a certain type of heart attack (called non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome) develop serious heart rhythm problems. It aims to find out how common these problems are and who might be at risk.
This trial uses a portable heart monitor (called a Holter) to record your child's heartbeat over a day or more, helping doctors understand symptoms like palpitations or dizziness. It aims to catch irregular heart rhythms that might be causing these issues.
This study looks at children and teens (ages 6–18) who recently fainted but are now back to normal, using a survey. It aims to better understand fainting episodes that happen before the emergency visit and how to evaluate them safely.
This study looks at how epilepsy and seizure medications affect the heart's rhythm control in children. It uses non-invasive tests (heart rate variability and QT interval) to measure heart health. The results may help doctors understand and manage heart risks in children with epilepsy.
This trial is a registry that collects information about children (under 18) who have congenital heart problems and need resuscitation with chest compressions. It helps doctors understand these emergencies and may improve future care for similar patients.
This study tests a treatment for supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), a condition where the heart beats too fast. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and works well in children.
