Overview

May support preferring repeated Holter over electrophysiological studies for autonomic sinus node dysfunction; leaves open need for prospective validation in sick sinus syndrome.

Structured PICO

What is the comparative diagnostic value of electrophysiological testing versus Holter monitoring in patients with sick sinus syndrome?

P
Population
26 patients with sick sinus syndrome
I
Intervention
Basic electrophysiological tests before and after autonomic blockade, and Holter monitoring
O
Outcome
Diagnostic possibilities and mechanisms involved in sinus node dysfunctionsurrogate

Repeated Holter monitoring provides superior diagnostic value compared to basic electrophysiological studies for evaluating autonomic sinus node dysfunction.
