An Implantable Loop Recorder Study of Highly Symptomatic Vasovagal Patients
Open accessAbstract
Objectives The aim of this study was to analyze the heart rhythm during spontaneous vasovagal syncope (VVS) in highly symptomatic patients with implantable loop recorders (ILR) and to correlate this rhythm with the heart rhythm observed during head-up tilt test (HUT).Background Heart rhythm obtained during provocative condition is often used to guide therapy in VVS. To date there is no conclusive evidence that the heart rhythm observed during a positive HUT can predict heart rhythm during VVS or that the heart rhythm observed during a spontaneous syncope will be identical to the recurrent syncope.Methods Twenty-five consecutive VVS patients (age 60.2 +/- 17.1 years; 14 women,) presenting with frequent syncopes (6.9 +/- 4.6 episodes/year) and a positive HUT (cardioinhibitory in 8 patients) were implanted with an ILR. Seven of them also had a positive adenosine triphosphate (ATP) test.Results Follow-up was 17.0 +/- 3.6 months. Thirty VVS were observed in 12 patients. Nine episodes showed bradycardia of <40 beats/min or asystole; progressive sinus bradycardia preceding sinus arrest was the most frequent electrocardiographic finding. Twenty-one syncopes occurred without severe bradycardia. The heart rhythm observed during the first syncope was identical to the recurrence. No correlation was found between slow heart rate at the ILR interrogation and a cardioinhibitory HUT response (p = 1.0) or a positive ATP test (p = 1.0).Conclusions In highly symptomatic patients with VVS, the heart rhythm observed during spontaneous syncope does not correlate with the HUT. The heart rhythm during the first spontaneous syncope is identical to the recurrent syncope.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
