28 ISSUE 3" ISSUE 3 International Study on Syncope of Uncertain Etiology 3 SYNCOPE" Conclusions Dual- chamber permanent pacing is effecpve in reducing recurrence of syncope in papents 40 years with severe asystolic NMS. The observed 32% absolute and 57% relapve syncope reducpon rate support the use of this invasive treatment for the relapvely benign NMS. The overall strategy of using an ILR in order to determine indicapon for pacing likely contributed to the posipve findings and explains the discrepancy with the negapve results of some previous report.

29 According to the ILR findings, the accuracy of the diagnosis of NMS made on inipal evaluapon was 87%. The diagnospc accuracy of Plt table test was low: TT was posipve in 56% NMS, 43% non- NMS; an asystolic response was present in 21% NMS and 0% non- NMS Heart 2013;99: doi: /heartjnl

30 ON-TREATMENT ANALYSIS The recurrence of syncope occurred in 10 paced patients (17%) 40 non-paced patients (46%). At 21 months, the estimated product-limit syncope recurrence rates were 27% and 54% respectevely. Risk of recurrence with cardiac pacing was reduced by 57%

31 -Positive TTT is more likely correlated with a higher frequency of recurrences of syncope in the group treated using a PM, while a negative response seems to predict the success of the pacing therapy. -The results of our study show the capacity of TTT to identify patients with a possible concomitant vasodepressive form (!?!? ) Consequently PM is not sufficient in a group of patients with positive TTT response.

The actuarial total syncope recurrence rate was : recurrence rate was 9% 9% (95% CI 6-12 at 1 years and 15% (95% CI, 10-20) at two years and when significantly lower than that observed in the control group of 124 patients with unspleined syncope who did not receive pacemaker i.e. 22% (95% CI, ai 1 year and 37% (95%, CI 30-43) at 2 years ( p=0,004)

37 SUP 2 Asystolic Tilt Test and PM. About half of older patients with severe recurrent syncopes without prodromes have an asystolic reflex for which cardiac pacing is effective in preventing syncopal recurrences. The recurrence rate is low irrespective of the index diagnostic test
