Utility and cost of event recorders in the diagnosis of palpitations, presyncope, and syncope

The American Journal of Cardiology
R I FogelE N Prystowsky

Abstract

In 184 patients given an event recorder for the evaluation of palpitations, syncope or presyncope, we found that event recorders are useful and relatively inexpensive in the initial evaluation of patients with palpitations regardless of the presence of heart disease, and of syncopal or presyncopal patients without heart disease. In patients with presyncope or syncope who have heart disease and a negative electrophysiology evaluation, event recorders have less utility and are more costly.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.

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.
