Arrhythmic Syncope

Dear CCF,

After a couple of tests, Scan, EEG, ECG, etc. my neurologist and caridiologist think that my syncopes are due to arrhythmia/tacchycardia.

The cardiologist wants to do a catheterization and a table tilt test.  Are these tests normally done for arrhythmic syncope, what will it confirm ?  Isn't it invasive for arrhytmias ?
What kind of tests would you perform if you suspected arrhythmic syncope ?.

Thank you very much for you time, you have been very helpful.

I would perform a tilt table test and possibly an EP study, which is a type of catheterization. I would also perform a stress test and/or a coronary arteriogram.
