Abstract

To the editor! We read the study published in your journal with great enthusiasm and appreciate the authors' efforts to perform the research [1]. It sheds light on the discussed cause and aids comprehension of the topic at hand. For sure, it provides the groundwork for future research; nevertheless, we have a few doubts that have caused us to write this letter, and we are confident that if these doubts were addressed, the overall output of the study would have increased manifolds.

Keywords: Clinical impact of arrhythmias; Cost–benefit analysis; Paediatric patient monitoring; Postoperative arrhythmia detection; Routine Holter monitoring; Selective monitoring strategies.
