Abstract

The diagnosis of syncope is often a difficulty in clinical practice. Technological advances in telemedicine and the miniaturization of implantable cardiac monitors have opened up previously non-existent diagnostic possibilities in cardiology in recent decades. We retrospectively followed a group of patients with unexplained syncopal symptoms in whom a decision was made to implant a Loop recorder. The given methodology allowed to diagnose rhythm-conduction pathology, which threatens the health and life of the patients, which would remain undetected without the help of long-term remote monitoring.
