Key result
Ambulatory rhythm monitoring in a 52-year-old man with syncope captured polymorphic ventricular tachycardia and ST-segment elevation, leading to the diagnosis and stenting of a 99% right coronary artery lesion.
Case Report (n=1)
A case report of a 52-year-old man presenting with unwitnessed syncope without prodrome.
Case of orthostatic syncope in comorbid patient; leaves open optimal ED workup and risk stratification.
A 52-year-old man with a history of hypertension and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) presented to the emergency department (ED) after an episode of syncope. He reported that the syncope occurred soon after he stood up to go to the kitchen to make dinner but was without prodrome or associated symptoms. He recalled little of the event, and the episode was unwitnessed. He had a few bruises on his arms but no significant injuries.

Chen (2022) conducted a case report in Syncope and myocardial ischemia (n=1). Ambulatory rhythm monitoring was evaluated. Ambulatory rhythm monitoring in a 52-year-old man with syncope captured polymorphic ventricular tachycardia and ST-segment elevation, leading to the diagnosis and stenting of a 99% right coronary artery lesion.
