Yield of Tilt Table Test in Diagnosing Syncope in Patients With Suspected Neurally Mediated Syncope.

Background: Syncope is a common medical condition. The reflex or neurally mediated syncope (NMS) is the most frequent type. The tilt table test (TTT) helps distinguish syncope from other common causes of complete loss of consciousness, such as epilepsy, define syncope subtypes and guide management.

Clinical and Genetic Characteristics of Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy Patients: A Single-Center Experience.

Background: Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is an inherited progressive cardiomyopathy. We aimed to define the long-term clinical outcome and genetic characteristics of patients and family members with positive genetic tests for ARVC in a single tertiary care cardiac center in Saudi Arabia.

Methods: We enrolled 46 subjects in the study, including 23 index-patients (probands) with ARVC based on the revised 2010 ARVC Task Force Criteria (TFC) and 23 family members who underwent a genetic test for the ARVC between 2016 and 2020.
