Mr. Jackson's sudden syncope episodes require either an arrhythmia-activated event monitor with a memory loop recorder or a continuous recorder to capture any potential cardiac arrhythmias or abnormalities. A patient-activated event monitor may not be effective as syncope episodes often occur suddenly and without warning. A continuous recorder would capture all cardiac activity, but may not have the ability to store and review specific events like an arrhythmia-activated event monitor with a memory loop recorder would.
