BACKGROUND: In the Third International Study on Syncope of Uncertain Etiology (ISSUE-3), cardiac pacing was effective in reducing recurrence of syncope in patients with presumed neurally mediated syncope (NMS) and documented asystole but syncope still recurred in 25% of them at 2 years. We have investigated the role of tilt testing (TT) in predicting recurrences.
METHODS AND RESULTS: In 136 patients enrolled in the ISSUE-3, TT was positive in 76 and negative in 60. An asystolic response predicted a similar asystolic form during implantable loop recorder monitoring, with a positive predictive value of 86%. The corresponding values were 48% in patients with non-asystolic TT and 58% in patients with negative TT (P=0.001 versus asystolic TT). Fifty-two patients (26 TT+ and 26 TT-) with asystolic neurally mediated syncope received a pacemaker. Syncope recurred in 8 TT+ and in 1 TT- patients. At 21 months, the estimated product-limit syncope recurrence rates were 55% and 5%, respectively (P=0.004). The TT+ recurrence rate was similar to that seen in 45 untreated patients (control group), which was 64% (P=0.75). The recurrence rate was similar between 14 patients with asystolic and 12 with non-asystolic responses during TT (P=0.53).
CONCLUSIONS: Cardiac pacing was effective in neurally mediated syncope patients with documented asystolic episodes in whom TT was negative; conversely, there was insufficient evidence of efficacy from this data set in patients with a positive TT even when spontaneous asystole was documented. Present observations are unexpected and need to be confirmed by other studies. Clinical Trial Registration- URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT01463358.
