In the recent era, there has been increased interest in extended Holter electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring beyond 24 h as it provides additional diagnostic information in detecting significant arrhythmias in patients presenting with syncope. However, the question about optimal duration of Holter ECG monitoring remains unanswered. We hereby present a case of a 65-year-old male having a first syncope; initially, 24 h Holter ECG monitoring was normal; however, subsequent 72 h Holter ECG monitoring demonstrated the evidence of complete heart block. The patient was successfully managed with the implantation of a permanent pacemaker.
