May support tailored syncope evaluation in structural heart disease; leaves open need for prospective outcome trials before practice change.
This review highlights the importance of tailoring syncope investigations based on the presence of structural heart disease, emphasizing the utility of loop recorders and the role of ICDs in high-risk cohorts.
Gould et al. (2005) conducted a review in Syncope. Cardiovascular investigations (loop recorders, tilt testing) was evaluated. Cardiovascular investigations for syncope, particularly loop recorders, have improved diagnostic capabilities and allowed for tailored management based on underlying structural heart disease.
