Suspected transient loss of consciousness (T-LOC) and syncope are common causes of hospitalization in older patients. Arrhythmias are the most common cardiac causes of syncope. Although a number of instrumental diagnostic procedures are usually routinely performed in patients with suspected syncope, a 12 leads electrocardiogram (ECG) is the only instrumental test recommended for the initial evaluation of these patients.

Abstract
Suspected transient loss of consciousness (T-LOC) and syncope are common causes of hospitalization in older patients. Arrhythmias are the most common cardiac causes of syncope. Although a number of instrumental diagnostic procedures are usually routinely performed in patients with suspected syncope, a 12 leads electrocardiogram (ECG) is the only instrumental test recommended for the initial evaluation of these patients.
