Abstract：
:A definitive diagnosis in patients with syncope is often problematic if the cause is not evident after initial clinical assessment. The cause of syncope may be not established due to the infrequent, episodic occurrence. A symptom-rhythm correlation is frequently an unattainable gold standard in many patients. The implantable Holter has added a powerful tool to the diagnostic armamentarium in the field of arrhythmia detection and may assume a prominent role in the investigation of syncope.
