Cardiac Arrhythmia Qt Interval, Variation in | Device: iPhone ECG | Not Applicable |
Patients that were already selected to begin either dofetilide or sotalol in the hospital, will be included in the study. Patients will receive an ECG before and 2 hours after each dose of the medication, which is done to monitor the QT interval. In addition, patients that consent to participate in the study will have an iPhone ECG recording taken in lead positions that correspond to leads I,II, and III.
These recordings will be compared and analyzed to assess the accuracy of the QT interval recordings between the two methods.

- QT interval measurement (in milliseconds) [ Time Frame: Participants will be followed for duration of hospital stay during which dofetilide or sotalol are being started, an expected average of 3 days ]The QT interval (measured from the start of the QRS to the end of the T wave) will be measured on the 12-lead ECG and on the iPhone rhythm strip recording. Both measurements will be recorded in milliseconds and will be statistically analyzed for bias and agreement.
