.... The main indication for monitoring was to exclude ventricular arrhythmias as the cause of symptoms and to establish a symptom-rhythm relationship. Results: A total of 20 patients (mean age, 39 ± 12 years; 55% male) received an ICM during the study period. Nine patients (45%) had a history of syncope...

... with syncope, followed by aborted cardiac arrest and sudden cardiac death. A serious cardiac event (SCE, such as syncope, aborted cardiac arrest or cardiac arrest) was reported by 32% of affected relatives and 87% of probands (p < 0.0001). Fifty-two percent of affected relatives were on β-blockers and 11...

...H. Kataoka A 26-year-old woman experienced syncope on standing 2–3 times a year for more than 15 years.
