*In the cases where HUT or CSM were applied, the diagnosis was asystolic (cardioinhibitory) reflex and the absence of p-waves.

AF, atrial fibrillation;CSM, carotid-sinus massage; HUT, head-up tilt test; ILR, implantable loop recorderSA, sinus arrest;VF, ventricular fibrillation; VT, ventricular tachycardia;VVS, vasovagal syncope.
