DOI: 10.1016/j.jjcc.2022.02.017
Abstract: BACKGROUND Recent studies using an implantable loop recorder (ILR) have reported on clinical predictors of pacemaker implantation in patients with unexplained syncope. However, atrial fibrillation (AF) was not included as a risk factor; this may… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/s0735-1097(19)30911-8
Abstract: Clinical guidelines recommend use of Insertable Cardiac Monitors (ICM) early in the evaluation of unexplained syncope due to their superior ability to establish symptom-rhythm correlation compared to Conventional Testing (CONV). The aim of this study… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/s0735-1097(20)32637-1
Abstract: For older patients with unexplained syncope and chronic bifascicular block (BFB), ACC/HRS and ESC guidelines recommend empiric permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation, or electrophysiologic study (EPS) and/or implanted loop recorder (ILR) to identify high-degree AV block.… read more here.

Association of incident fragility fractures in patients hospitalised due to unexplained syncope and orthostatic hypotension
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Europace"
DOI: 10.1093/europace/euab116.314
Abstract: Background Fragility fractures are caused by low-energy insults such as falls from standing height or less and pose a growing health challenge as their incidence rises with increasing age. Impaired orthostatic blood pressure response and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/anec.12630
Abstract: An implantable loop recorder (ILR) assists in the diagnosis of unexplained syncope and atrial fibrillation (AF). Both become prevalent with age. Limited data exist describing the incidence of AF as the diagnostic rhythm underlying syncope… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0263727
Abstract: Background The presence of bifascicular block on electrocardiography suggests that otherwise-unexplained syncope may be due to complete heart block. European Society of Cardiology (ESC) recommends investigating it with electrophysiology study (EPS). PPM is indicated if… read more here.
