Self-terminating ventricular fibrillation recorded by an implantable loop recorder as a cause of syncope – A case report

Flipping syncope: The case of an adolescent athlete with syncopal episodes ultimately diagnosed with catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia

“…6 Reports of VF lasting greater than one minute which spontaneously self-terminate have been reported, but are exceedingly rare. 7,8 To our knowledge, this is among the longest lasting documented episodes of VF with self-termination. Our group previously published a case series of two young athletes in whom loop recorders proved to be invaluable in determining the etiology of their syncope as being cardiogenic.…”

“…The use of loop recorders in syncope of uncertain etiology is well described, and the documentation of VF has been reported 6 . Reports of VF lasting greater than one minute which spontaneously self‐terminate have been reported, but are exceedingly rare 7,8 . To our knowledge, this is among the longest lasting documented episodes of VF with self‐termination.…”
