Fantastic to see @theaspiredstudy has been picked up by @stemlyns - read @EMManchester thoughts on our @NEJM paper (accessible here: nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE…) at stemlynsblog.org/aspired-amb…

Thanks Michael for the opportunity to share ASPIRED with clinicaltrialresults.org
Dr. Matt Reed and Dr. C. Michael Gibson discuss the ASPIRED trial: Immediate 14-day ambulatory ECG patch monitoring applied during initial ED visits for unexplained syncope did not reduce syncope episodes but doubled diagnostic yield for arrhythmia, lowered time-to-detection, and improved survival at 1 year.

Congratulations to @mattreed73 and ASPIRED study team - presentation at #ESCCongress (and publication in @NEJM ). 14-day ECG monitor in pts with syncope did not reduce syncope burden - but did identify high risk patients and resulted in a 50% decrease in all cause mortality!

Delighted the @TheBHF funded @theaspiredstudy has today been presented as a HOTLINE study at the @escardio Congress in Munich & simultaneously published in the @NEJM. Thanks to all site teams, PIs, @EdinburghUni, @EdinUniECTU, @NHS_Lothian, @TheBHF, our TSC & DMC and our patients
Presented at #ESCCongress:
Among patients with syncope that remained unexplained after evaluation in the ED, immediate initiation of 14-day ECG monitoring did not result in significantly fewer patient-reported syncope episodes at 1 year than standard care. Full ASPIRED trial results: nej.md/4wH7SJh

ALT A graph from the Original Article "Immediate Ambulatory Electrocardiographic Monitoring in Syncope." The trial name, ASPIRED, is in parentheses after the title. The graph shows shows the cumulative probability of detection of a clinically significant cardiac arrhythmia in the two groups. The trial results are being presented at the European Society of Cardiology Congress 2026. The logo of the New England Journal of Medicine is at the bottom.

High-sensitivity troponin has transformed MI detection, but front-door loading and unselective testing risk overdiagnosis & missed pathology. Our @EJ_EmergencyMed viewpoint article out today argues for reclaiming clinical reasoning in ED chest pain care journals.lww.com/euro-emerge…

Syncope spans multiple medical specialties and often involves physicians in unscheduled care. This excellent conference on 7 Nov 2025 at @rcpsglasgow offers updates on acute assessment, risk stratification and emerging developments in syncope management. rcpsg.ac.uk/education/syncop…

Our @theaspiredstudy qualitative paper 'Usability and acceptability of ambulatory monitoring in undiagnosed
syncope' is now published online open access in @BMJ_Open @emerge_research @AlicePearsons @HansonCoral @lisneubeck @cblackstock53
Huge thanks to @bhf supporters for supporting the @theaspiredstudy, a clinical trial to test whether applying a new heart monitoring patch to patients with unexplained fainting can improve the detection of serious heart rhythm problems m.youtube.com/watch?v=tCswAO…
