Özet
The authors present the case of a patient with aortic valve surgery and unexplained syncopal attacks. With the use of an implantable loop recorder, sinus node dysfunction was diagnosed more than 4 months after implantation. This case highlights the importance of implantable loop recorders in patients with unexplained syncope and that atrioventricular block is not the only mechanism of syncope in patients with aortic valve surgery.
