ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
This pilot study sought to investigate the utility and acceptability of the KardiaMobile 6-lead ECG (KM6LECG) as a tool for remote monitoring in children with inherited cardiac conditions.DESIGN:
A single-centre prospective cohort study. Children underwent standard clinical evaluation including a 12-lead ECG and a KM6LECG in the clinic. Participants recorded KM6LECGs monthly at home for 3 months. Families completed a questionnaire on their experience.SETTING:
Great Ormond Street Hospital Centre for Inherited Cardiovascular Diseases.PARTICIPANTS:
64 children 22 with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM); 22 with long QT syndrome and 20 unaffected siblings (controls). MAIN OUTCOMEMEASURES:
Comparison of data extracted from the clinic 12-lead ECG and supervised KM6LECG, and the supervised and unsupervised KM6LECG recording.RESULTS:
Of 64 children (35% female, mean age 12 years), 58 had a baseline 12-lead ECG and appropriate baseline KM6LECG. In children with HCM, abnormalities in ventricular depolarisation/repolarisation in the limb leads of the 12-lead ECG were reliably reproduced. From the whole cohort, there was a strong positive correlation between the corrected QT interval from the 12-lead ECG and baseline KM6LECG (intraclass correlation coefficient=0.839) and baseline KM6LECG with an unsupervised KM6LECG (intraclass correlation coefficient=0.736). Suspected 'lead' misplacement impacted 18% of unsupervised recordings. Overall, the acceptability of the KM6LECG to families was good.CONCLUSIONS:
The KM6LECG provides an accurate tool for assessing some ECG abnormalities associated with paediatric inherited cardiovascular disease and may provide a useful at-home adjunct to face-to-face clinical care of children requiring ECG assessment.Palavras-chave
