Syncope

“…However, extended monitoring with external loop recorders may be needed to confirm or refute that an arrhythmia is the responsible cause of syncope. New leadless arrhythmia monitoring devices, lasting 14 days or more, with better patient compliance, may increase the diagnostic yield [12][13][14][15][16]. When symptoms are sporadic, implantable recorders can increase the period of monitoring to 2-3 years and can be an effective modality to secure a diagnosis.…”
