【 摘 要 】
BackgroundThere are little data on remote monitoring (RM) of implantable loop recorders (ILRs) in patients with unexplained syncope and whether it confers enhanced diagnostic power.ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of RM in ILR recipients for unexplained syncope for early detection of clinically relevant arrhythmias by comparison with a historical cohort with no RM.MethodsSyncRM is a propensity score (PS)-matched study prospectively including 133 consecutive patients with unexplained syncope and ILR followed up by RM (RM-ON group). A historical cohort of 108 consecutive ILR patients with biannual in-hospital follow-up visits was used as control group (RM-OFF group). The primary endpoint was the time to the clinician's evaluation of clinically relevant arrhythmias (types 1, 2, and 4 of the ISSUE classification).ResultsThe primary endpoint of arrhythmia evaluation was reached in 38 patients (28.6%) of the RM-ON group after a median time of 46 days (interquartile range, 13–106) and in 22 patients (20.4%) of the RM-OFF group after 92 days (25–368). The PS-matched adjusted ratio of rates of arrhythmia evaluation was 2.53 (95% confidence interval, 1.32–4.86) in the RM-ON vs. RM-OFF group (p = 0.005).ConclusionIn our PS-matched comparison with a historical cohort, RM of ILR patients with unexplained syncope was associated with a 2.5-fold higher chance of evaluations of clinically relevant arrhythmias as compared with biannual in-office follow-up visits.
