The Implantable Loop Recorder—An Important Addition to the Armentarium in the Management of Unexplained Syncope

Abstract

The early use of ILR in selected patients remains an accurate, cost-effective, high yield tool for diagnosis and management of patients with unexplained syncope. However, its use should not detract from the importance of taking a detailed medical history and physical examination in the initial assessment to facilitate identification of the aetiology and risk stratification of patients.
