Filter by:Specific Aim #1 - To determine the accuracy of Apple Watch ECG tracings heart rate in children. Specific Aim #2 - To determine if extended monitoring with the Apple Watch can identify arrhythmia events that were not detected by short term clinical monitoring.
The project is a direct response to the identified lack of ECG diagnostic solutions dedicated to children. There are several tools for automatic ECG signal analysis in adults, but these cannot be used in the diagnosis of heart disorders among children. A digital ECG analysis technology developer, Cardiomatics, and the Medical University of Warsaw team have taken the challenge of developing an internationally innovative tool for automatic assessment, analysis, and interpretation of electrocardiographic signals in pediatric patients. The developed tool will allow cardiac arrhythmias in children to be assessed more effectively and minimize the time needed for cardiologists to evaluate data received from the Holter monitor due to the use of algorithms, which are based on artificial intelligence.
In this research study we want to learn more about abnormal heart rhythm after cardiac surgery in children. These abnormal heart rhythms, also called arrhythmias, may occur due to several reasons after cardiac surgery. They can be due to abnormal electrical pathway or an irritable area of the heart that stimulates abnormal impulses. Regardless of the cause, arrhythmias after cardiac surgery can be a problem, extending the hospital stay, requiring additional medications and even leading to cardiac arrest. Current practice is to monitor for arrhythmias after cardiac surgery, and to treat them if they occur. With this research, we want to investigate whether we can identify patients who will develop arrhythmia, and treat them before they occur.
