Osiemnastosekundowa pauza podczas testu pochyleniowego — co dalej?

Abstract

Authors present a case report of a young man with whom despite to the fainting and significant pauses during a tilt test, implantation of pacemaker was not performed. The patient remains in outpatients care and he seems to refer advantage of the conservative treatment. Above procedure, there is in accordance with current guidelines, which emphasize the selection of a small group of patients among which invasive treatment (pacemaker implantation) should be considered. Recent studies point out an increasing role of prolonged Holter monitoring and implantable events recorders. In contrast, there is no evidence that cardiodepressive syncope during tilt test indicates pacemaker implantation as first-line therapy.
