The diagnostic value of longterm ambulatory ECG recording (LTER) was determined in 63 patients referred for investigation of syncope, in 32 with dizziness and in 89 with palpitations. Among patients referred for syncope, dizziness or palpitations 8, 13 and 54%, respectively, had typical symptoms during the recording with concomitant arrhythmia explaining the symptom, and 6, 50 and 11% had a typical symptom without concomitant arrhythmia. In 12 and 3% of the patients referred for syncope or dizziness, respectively, arrhythmia was observed and probably explained their previous complaint, but no symptoms occurred during LTER. LTER was found to be of diagnostic value in 24% of the patients with syncope, in 66% of those with dizziness and in 65% of those with palpitations. In the latter two groups the presence of symptoms the week before the start of these recordings predicted the occurrence of symptoms during LTER. Only occasionally was there a higher yield of typical symptoms beyond 48 h of recording.
