Longer monitor?: 24 Hours is a fairly short time to monitor. When I evaluate syncope patients we often settle in for a rather longer period of monitoring. That ranges from days to weeks to months, depending upon the individual circumstances. If someone's heart stops for 4 seconds, but it only happens once every week or two, 24 hours may not be enough to catch it.
