Patients with recurrent syncope undiagnosed after extensive non-invasive and invasive testing pose a diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma. Holter monitoring is nondiagnostic in 90% of cases. Recent developments in loop recorder technology permit long-term ECG monitoring in patients with recurrent unexplained syncope. The aim of this study was to report the worldwide experience with a new subcutaneously implantable loop recorder, implanted in 133 patients with unexplained syncope and negative laboratory investigations.
