An observational study in Arrhythmias, Cardiac, Tachycardia, Supraventricular and Bradycardia, sponsored by Assiut University. Not yet recruiting. Open to participants aged 1 Month to 18 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-09-17.
Sponsored by Assiut University · Observational
This cross-sectional study aims to determine the incidence, clinical presentation, and outcome of cardiac arrhythmias among children presenting to the Emergency Department of Assiut University Children Hospital.
Cardiac arrhythmias are a significant concern in the pediatric emergency setting. This observational study will include children aged 1 month to 18 years presenting with symptoms suggestive of arrhythmia (palpitation, chest pain, syncope, dyspnea, or respiratory distress).
All participants will undergo full history, clinical examination, 12-lead ECG, and additional investigations as indicated (echocardiography, Holter, laboratory tests). Incidence of different arrhythmia types, clinical picture, and short-term outcomes will be recorded.
1,051 studies on the registry are indexed under Arrhythmias, Cardiac; 236 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 73 is below the median of 200 across 467 observational studies indexed under Arrhythmias, Cardiac.

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
