Abstract
ECG testing in patients younger than 40 years did not reveal a cardiac cause of syncope and was associated with a significant frequency of abnormal ECG findings unrelated to syncope. Although our findings should be verified in larger studies, it may be reasonable to defer ECG testing in younger patients who have a presentation consistent with a benign cause of syncope.
