Abstract: The accuracy of smartwatch ECG recordings in adults has been demonstrated primarily in the automated diagnosis of atrial fibrillation. While the detection of atrial fibrillation is a priority among adults given the arrhythmia's prevalence and actionable ramifications, the potential value of smartwatch ECG recordings in children differs considerably. In this case series, we will describe some examples of smartwatch ECGs recorded in children, highlighting the feasibility and potential indications of this technology in the pediatric population.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest The authors report that they have nothing to disclose.<br /> (Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Inc.
