A tiny monitor, a big question: can it catch hidden heart rhythm problems in kids?
NCT ID NCT07760805
First seen Aug 12, 2026 · Last updated Aug 13, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study at Sohag University Hospitals is testing how well a 24-hour Holter monitor can detect heart rhythm problems in children who come in with symptoms like fainting, palpitations, dizziness, or chest pain. Each child will wear the monitor for a day while doctors also review their medical history, physical exam, and other tests like an ECG. The goal is to see how often the monitor actually finds a heart-related cause for these common but often puzzling symptoms.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- 24-hour Holter monitoring (a portable device that records the heart's rhythm)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors better identify which children with symptoms like palpitations or fainting actually have heart rhythm problems, leading to more accurate diagnoses and fewer unnecessary tests.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-center study with a modest number of participants, and the results may not apply to all children. Also, Holter monitoring only records for 24 hours, so it might miss irregular heartbeats that occur less frequently.
