Predicting Syncope Outcomes: Correlating Real-Time Outpatient Arrhythmias With FAINT and CSRS

Authors: L. Honeycutt, E. Nartey, M. Ahrens, A. Moore

Summary:

Sub-study of the ongoing MUST-DO Trial that prospectively evaluated patients discharged from the ED with unexplained syncope, using 30-day mobile cardiac outpatient telemetry (MCOT) monitoring to correlate real-time arrhythmic events with baseline Canadian Syncope Risk Score (CSRS) and FAINT scores.

Key Findings:

Sub-study of a larger study (MUST-DO Trial) comparing time to arrhythmia diagnosis and time to medical intervention following an ED evaluation for unexplained syncope.

Patients classified as “high risk” by CSRS >= 6 may experience arrhythmias earlier in the monitoring period.
