[The role of Holter ECG monitoring in the diagnosis of syncopal states].

Diurnal Holter ECG monitoring (HM) was used to examine 53 patients with different cardial pathology accompanied by syncopal conditions whose arrhythmogenic genesis was confirmed by long recording of the ECG. Based on the results of comparing the cardiorecorder readings and the diaries of patients' subjective sensations, the authors have demonstrated HM and thorough anamnestic studies to be highly significant in the diagnosis of the syncopal syndrome.
