Figure 1 Outcome in 60 patients randomized to a primary diagnostic strategy of prolonged cardiac monitoring compared with conventional testing with an external loop recorder and tilt and electrophysiologic testing for investigation of syncope. Although the cost of monitoring was greater than that of conventional testing, the cost/diagnosis was reduced because of the greater diagnostic yield (p < 0.0001).
