What Causes Long Asystole Time During Syncopal Episode In A Child?
My 12 year old son was just diagnosed with neurocardiogenic syncope using a tilt test. The cardiologist was very concerned due to a very long asystole time and inverted T waves during the syncopal episode. Everything I ve read about NCS makes it seem like it isn t a big deal. Should I be concerned?

Hi.... your Cardiologist is 100% right. A long asystole requires further evaluation by holter monitoring for 24 hours. I suggest you get your child evaluated as per your Cardiologist's advise.
