Fainting Detection And Early Warning In Syncope Evaluation Study (ARISE) (ARISE)

May 13, 2026 updated by: Boston Scientific Corporation

Fainting Detection And Early Warning In Syncope Evaluation Study

To characterize the impact of orthostatic hypotension (OH) and Vasovagal syncope on signals measured using a wearable Holter monitor in the clinic and ambulatory setting.

To evaluate the relationship of signals measured from the Holter monitor with reported symptom severity of orthostatic intolerance per standard data collection, analysis, and questionnaires.

Detailed Description

This is a non-randomized feasibility study that will enroll up to 40 participants that have undergone a previous autonomic reflex screen (ARS) assessment and were either diagnosed with OH or reflex syncope or considered to be control subjects for this study.

A minimum of 20 subjects diagnosed with reflex syncope; a maximum of 15 subjects diagnosed with OH syncope and a maximum of 15 control subjects will be enrolled. There will be one in person study visit and a 21 day follow up period per subject.

Design Details

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Syncope group
Patients that have undergone an ARS assessment and diagnosed with orthostatic hypotension or reflex syncope
Participants will be fitted with a minimum of one wearable Holter monitor and up to 2 monitors, placed on the skin that measures physiologic signals. Participants will wear the monitor(s) for up approximately 21 days.
Control Group
Patients that have undergone an ARS assessment and are control subjects.
Participants will be fitted with a minimum of one wearable Holter monitor and up to 2 monitors, placed on the skin that measures physiologic signals. Participants will wear the monitor(s) for up approximately 21 days.
