About this trial
The main research question of this study is whether wearable devices have utility in monitoring patients with Long QT syndrome.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1. Determine the accuracy of repeated QT interval measurements using Fitbit-derived ECGs in patients with Long QT syndrome compared with the current standard (12-lead ECG and ambulatory monitors)
2. Establish intra-patient QT variability from weekly Fitbit-ECGs and frequency of measurements over 500ms.
Secondary outcomes
1. Establish the utility of wearable devices for determining symptom aetiology in LQTS.
2. Develop pipelines for the analysis of ECG data collected remotely including use of in-house QT automated algorithms for future machine learning applications.
