Results of Invasive Electrophysiologic Evaluation in 268 Patients with Unexplained Syncope

In order to assess the diagnostic value of invasive electrophysiologic study (EPS) in the patients with unexplained syncope, the electrophysiologic findings of 268 patients with unexplained syncope despite a complete clinical evaluation were analyzed Results showed positive EPS finding was 38% in total patients and 50% in the patients aged >70 years With increasing age, the diagnostic yield of EPS also increased No significant differences of complication rate were found among the different age groups It was concluded that EPS havd high diagnostic value in the patients with unexplained syncope Its complications are few and mild EPS may be recommended in elderly patients with unexplained syncope

不明原因晕厥患者电生理检查结果分析

目的 探讨电生理检查对不明原因晕厥患者的诊断价值。方法 对 2 68例经无创性检查未能确定病因的晕厥患者进行电生理检查 ,并对电生理结果及其并发症进行统计分析。结果 电生理检查总的阳性率为 3 8%,随年龄的增加 ,其电生理检查的阳性率亦增加 ,其中 70岁以上患者因患冠心病者比例较高其电生理检查阳性率高达 5 0 %,但该组并发症并无增加。结论 电生理检查对不明原因晕厥患者 。
