摘要：
Prolonged electrocardiographic monitoring shows transient arrhythmias as a potential cause of syncope in 21 to 64% of patients.1-5 Tzivoni and Stern6 found that 12 of 110 patients (11%) referred for continuous electrocardiographic monitoring because of dizziness and syncope had arrhythmias requiring pacemaker implantation. We determined in a prospective study the prevalence of arrhythmias determined by 24-hour ambulatory electrocardiograms in 148 elderly patients with unexplained syncope. We also determined the effect of treating arrhythmias on the incidence of recurrent syncope. © 1992.
