The usefulness of a new diagnostic tool is reported in a case of recurrent syncopes of unknown origin. A subcutaneous monitoring device for long-term continuous ECG recording was implanted in a patient with very infrequent recurrent syncopes, and after seven months the syncope recurred. Retrieving ECG data showed an abrupt bradycardia episode with a total duration of 13 second and a 7.5 second episode of asystole. A DDDR pacemaker was implanted and at the same time the Loop Recorder was explanted. A suggestion for an algorithm for evaluation of unexplained syncope is presented.
