ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the clinical value of the 24 hour dynamic electrocardiogram diagnosis of the car-diogenic syncope patients. Methods To carry out 24 hour Holter monitoring electrocardiogram for the 118 patients with unexplained syncope, amaurosis, and then to record the ECG conditions at the onset of the illness. Results Thirty-nine cases were with syncope, and 93 cases with arrhythmias, only 6 cases without arrhythmias in the syncope group, 19 cases without arrhythmias in the absence of syncope group. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). R-R interval between the two different types of arrhythmia of patients had significant difference (P<0.05). Conclusion To carry out Holter monitoring electrocardiogram for patients with cardiogenic syncope can effectively diagnose the specific etiology.
