Prolonged rhythm monitoring with a SQ insertable cardiac monitor (ICM) is of diagnostic value in patients with unexplained recurrent syncope. DDx includes unproven epilepsy, unexplained falls, and other arrhythmias.

2018 ESC Guidelines suggest ICM instead of an ICD in many patients with recurrent unexplained syncope and low risk of SCD. ICM may be esp useful in different those with neurally mediated syncope, BBB, or structural heart disease--more so than tilt table or Holter.

In CARISMA, 297 patients with LVEF≤40% 3-21d post-AMI were followed with an ICM for (mean) 1.9y. Arrhythmias documented: new-onset AF (28%), non-sustained VT (13%), high-degree AV block (10%). Which of these was strongest predictor of cardiac death?
