Key result
Telemetry fortuitously captured an event that yielded the correct diagnosis of extrinsic idiopathic atrioventricular block in a case of convulsive transient loss of consciousness.
Why the study?
Details in transient loss of consciousness can be scarce and physical examination unrevealing, making the diagnosis elusive.

Telemetry monitoring can be crucial for diagnosing elusive causes of transient loss of consciousness, such as extrinsic idiopathic atrioventricular block, when history and physical examination are unrevealing.
History and physical examination are the diagnostic cornerstones of transient loss of consciousness (TLOC). However, details can be scarce and examination unrevealing, thus making the diagnosis elusive. In a case of convulsive TLOC, the initial diagnosis was incorrect, but a fortuitously captured event on telemetry yielded the diagnosis: extrinsic idiopathic atrioventricular block. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.)

Maqsood et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Transient loss of consciousness (TLOC) (n=1). Telemetry was evaluated on Diagnosis of extrinsic idiopathic atrioventricular block. Telemetry fortuitously captured an event that yielded the correct diagnosis of extrinsic idiopathic atrioventricular block in a case of convulsive transient loss of consciousness.
