  • Title: Final results from a pilot study with an implantable loop recorder to determine the etiology of syncope in patients with negative noninvasive and invasive testing.
    Author: Krahn AD, Klein GJ, Yee R, Norris C.
    Journal: Am J Cardiol; 1998 Jul 01; 82(1):117-9. PubMed ID: 9671019.
    Abstract:
    Twenty-four patients with recurrent unexplained syncope and negative tilt and electrophysiologic testing underwent implantation of the implantable loop recorder, with recurrence of syncope in 21 patients 5.1+/-4.8 months after device implantation. Eighteen of the 21 had a treatable diagnosis, with arrhythmias in 11. Treatment resulted in resolution of syncope in most patients during long-term follow-up.
