Active clinical trials for "Syncope"

Comparing the arrhythmia diagnostic yield of MCOT as compared to standard loop event monitors in patients presenting with palpitations, syncope or near syncope occurring less frequently than every 24 hours. Patients randomized and are enrolled for 30 days. Prior testing required: 24 hours of non diagnostic monitoring,

This study is intended to compare the new Carnation Ambulatory Monitoring (CAM) System, a patch monitoring system, with the Holter monitoring system. Holters represent the current standard for continuous recording of the ECG over extended periods.

This study is intended to compare the new Carnation patch monitoring system with the Zio patch, which represents the current standard for continuous recording of the ECG over extended periods.

Acute pulmonary embolism (APE) is a common disease, which involves significant morbidity and mortality. The clinical presentation of APE has many faces but it is acceptable to suspect this disease when the patient presenting with at least one of the following: shortness of breath, pleuritic chest pain, cough, sub-febrile fever or hemoptysis. The relationship between syncope and APE is not entirely clear. Prandoni et al conducted a systematic process for the exclusion / confirmation of APE all patients hospitalized for a first investigation of syncope. In this study APE was diagnosed in about 17% of the patients. In 12.7% of patients with an alternative explanation for syncope APE was diagnosed. Interestingly, 25% of the patients had no other manifestation of pulmonary embolism apart from the syncope itself. According to the updated clinical guidelines, APE should not be routinely tested as an etiology for syncope and not systematically excluded. According to the new data presented by Prandoni et al, this means that a significant percentage of patients hospitalized for an investigation of syncope are discharged when they are suffering from APE (in most cases probably an event of unprovoked pulmonary embolism) without treatment with anticoagulants, making them particularly prone to PE recurrence. Aim. To examine the incidence of pulmonary embolism (Pulmonary Embolism, PE), and VTE (venous thromboembolism, VTE) in patients hospitalized for a first investigation of syncope.

Prospective, multicenter, observational registry designed to collect data on syncopal relapses in patients undergoing pacemaker implantation for bradyarrhythmic syncope.

FEVRIER study is an observatory of hospitalizations in cardiology units in sub-Saharan Africa.

The investigators compared the serum lactate, serum prolactin and serum creatine kinase concentrations following convulsive and non-convulsive syncopes. The aim of the study was to investigate their importance as diagnostic markers in transient loss of consciousness.

The purpose of this study is to obtain information on real-world device performance clinical assessments and clinical outcomes of patients receiving the Sleuth Implantable ECG Monitoring System.

Syncope is a common symptom that may be related to a conductive disorder. If no bradycardia is authenticated, it is often necessary to implant an implantable loop recorder. In somes cases, implantable loop recorder records cardiac conductive disorders. In this study, we want to try to identify a group of patients for whom we could immediately implant a pacemaker without prior implantation of an implantable loop recorder given the high probability of implantation of a pacemaker after interrogation of the implantable loop recorder. It would be interesting for the reduction of interventions for the patients and for the economic aspect of the healthcare system

Syncope, a frequent reason for emergency room visits and hospitalization, is a symptom of three major etiological entities: cardiac causes, vaso-reflex causes and orthostatic hypotension. The etiological diagnosis is often uncertain and the prognostic assessment orients the outcome of the patient. The vast majority of syncope management costs are related to hospitalizations. Hospitalization in the immediate aftermath of emergency care is justified by a short-term prognosis. The current relevance of hospitalizations and the prognostic assessment of syncope is questioned.
