Abstract

Syncope is a clinical symptom for many kinds of diseases. The reasons for some syncope are still not clear even after a comprehensive and systematic examination, known as unexplained syncope. The clinical data of one patient with recurrent syncope, who had received the implanted loop recorder (ILR) in Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, were retrospectively analyzed. The instrument recorded the first syncope at a time of recurrence for the sustained ventricular tachycardia in 704 days after ILR. The patient was thus diagnosed as arrhythmic syncope and received an operation with implantable cardioverter defibrillator. The ILR is a new type of examination device for patients suffering from syncope with suspected cardiac rhythm due to its long monitoring time, low infection rate and high safety. It possesses high clinical value in the diagnosis of patients with arrhythmic syncope.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
