title: The noninvasive evaluation of syncope of suspected cardiovascular origin.
abstract: We have reviewed all available noninvasive diagnostic studies for the evaluation of syncope of suspected cardiovascular origin. This eight-step diagnostic approach covers the majority of available syncopal etiologies. In patients evaluated for syncope, we believe a complete noninvasive evaluation should be performed (if clinically indicated) before performing invasive electrophysiologic studies.
