Abstract
There is a risk for sudden cardiac death and nonfatal arrhythmias for marathon runners A new telemedical approach to prevent sudden cardiac death could be online electrocardiogram monitoring during endurance sport events which would allow the emergency services located along the running track to initiate instantaneous therapy In a first proof of concept study we evaluate the feasibility of recording transferring and analysing an electrocardiogram via a mobile phone electrocardiogram streaming and compare the quality to a conventional Holter electrocardiogram during marathon running
