Key result
Routine electrocardiogram and detailed medical history are essential, yet underutilized, tools for identifying high-risk patients with syncope, particularly those with underlying long QT syndrome.
Why the study?
Does routine electrocardiogram and detailed medical history improve the identification of high-risk patients (such as those with long QT syndrome) presenting with syncope?

Routine ECG and detailed medical history are essential, yet underutilized, tools for differentiating benign syncope from high-risk conditions like long QT syndrome in young patients.
Cerrone et al. (2009) conducted an editorial in Syncope and Long QT Syndrome (LQTS). Routine electrocardiogram and medical history was evaluated. Routine electrocardiogram and detailed medical history are essential, yet underutilized, tools for identifying high-risk patients with syncope, particularly those with underlying long QT syndrome.
