The Importance of Mobile Cardiac Outpatient Telemetry (MCOT) Monitoring for the Detection of Cardiac Arrhythmias
A 46-year-old male presented with an episode of syncope and several episodes of near syncope. Over the past four months, he had several abrupt episodes of near syncope that typically occurred without warning and were without associated symptoms such as diaphoresis, nausea or palpitations. His episodes have occurred while both standing and sitting, and typically lasted for only a few seconds before subsiding completely. One episode, however, lasted long enough to lead to a transient loss of consciousness and mild bruising from his fall.

SVT most often occurs in young, otherwise healthy patients for whom AV block can be a much worse disease than the tachyarrhythmia. We present a case of an anteroseptal pathway in which the implications to the patient are made much more obvious by his intentions to become a professional athlete.
