Arrhythmia rate and management in children presenting to the paediatric emergency department due to palpitation
Our study supports that, as in adults, the probability of arrhythmia increases in children when palpitations persist for more than an hour, occur at an uncountable rapid rate, present as isolated or recurrent episodes, or continue at the time of admission. This data highlights the importance of taking a detailed medical history once again. To our knowledge, this is one of the few studies to comprehensively examine both the acute management and long-term outcomes of arrhythmia in children, including the role of ablation therapy, making it a potentially valuable contribution to the existing literature.
