Overview History Faculty Research ... Patient Information Neurally Mediated Syncope Introduction Syncope is a sudden and transient loss of consciousness and postural tone, usually described as “fainting” or “passing out”. It is a common problem, accounting for 3% of emergency room visits. A history of an isolated episode of syncope will be found in as many as 25% of healthy young adults, especially in settings that precipitate fear, disgust or anxiety, and if not repeated does not warrant further work-up. Repeated episodes, however, may be caused by a wide variety of medical problems, and require diagnosis and treatment. It is important to distinguish syncope from “ dizziness ”, which generally refers to an alteration in balance, vision, or perception of the environment, without the loss of consciousness. Causes of syncope can be differentiated into two major classifications, cardiac and noncardiac . Examples of cardiac syncope are heart rhythm disturbances or abnormalities in the structure of the heart. Table 1 presents a useful classification of noncardiac syncope Table 1.

Sections/Specialties Palos Heights Merrillville La Rabida [Return to main] Syncope (pronounced "sink – oh – pee") What is syncope? It used to be called a swoon. Today we call it a fainting spell, but the medical term is syncope. It describes a sudden, short loss of consciousness. You become unresponsive, lose muscle tone, and may fall. Its occurrence is fairly common and increases with age. Most episodes are not harmful and you regain consciousness without help, although injuries may occur with falls. How does it occur? The causes of syncope are broadly divided into heart-related (cardiac-related) and non-heart-related (non-cardiac-related) causes. Syncope due to cardiac-related causes is more serious and increases your risk of death slightly. The outlook for most people with syncope, however, is excellent. Other causes of loss of consciousness include neurologic disorders such as seizures. In the beginning, both seizures and syncope may look similar. What are non-heart-related causes of syncope?

Many patients learn, on their own, to avoid syncope when they feel the premonitory symptoms by sitting or laying down quickly. This does not mean that they do not have syncope; it means that they outsmarted gravity! They still need a medical evaluation.

Cardiovascular Syncope Syncope is defined as a sudden loss of consciousness and postural tone, followed by spontaneous recovery. Almost a third of the cases reported never find an explanation. Beyond this, there are various causes. Some we have already discussed include seizures, transcient ischemic attacks, strokes, and heart disease (eg, cardiac ischemia and cardiac arrhythmias). This leaves us with two remaining important causes, vasovagal syncope (neurocardiogenic syncope) and postural hypotension (orthostatic hypotension). These are the primary subjects of this page. Vasovagal Syncope Vasovagal syncope occurs through abnormal reflexes regulating the heart and blood vessels. The fainting is due to abrupt bradycardia and vasodilation under circumstances in which, if anything, the opposite should be occurring. There may be no obvious precipitating circumstances, although in many cases certain situations may trigger the syncope. For example, prolonged standing is frequently involved, or perhaps something such as eating a large meal in a warm restaurant . But it never occurs when the patient is lying down. There is no generally agreed upon explanation for this failure in the mechanisms regulating arterial pressure. Sometimes healthy runners will faint for unknown reasons at the end of a race. This too is typically put in the category of vasovagal syncope.

This page was last updated: Tue, Nov 18, 2003 Introduction You have been diagnosed with a condition called vasovagal syncope. Other names for it include fainting, neurocardiogenic syncope and neurally mediated syncope. This is a very common condition that results in fainting or a blackout in as many as half of people at least once in their life. Three percent of people develop it repeatedly. What is Vasovagal Syncope? Vasovagal syncope is not a serious or life threatening condition, but in effect an abnormal reflex. This results in a drop in blood pressure leading to decreased blood flow to the brain resulting in dizziness or fainting. The mechanism of vasovagal syncope is the subject of a great deal of research. It may best be described as the following: What are the symptoms?

This page is best viewed with a browser that supports tables. Preview : Syncope has many causes. Although the most common ones are generally benign and do not require extensive evaluation, cardiac syncope has high rates of recurrence and death. In this article, Dr Hauer describes how physical examination and electrocardiographic findings can guide further evaluation to provide the largest diagnostic yield at the lowest cost. Hauer KE. Discovering the cause of syncope. Postgrad Med 2003;113(1):31-38, 95 S yncope is a common problem, accounting for 3% of emergency department visits (1). Evaluation of syncope can be challenging for many reasons. First, syncope is not a diagnosis; rather, it is a symptom with many possible causes. Common causes, such as the vasovagal faint, are not serious. However, other causes are deadly and require further investigation. In addition, the history of a syncopal event often is unclear because the patient has amnesia and there were no witnesses to the event. As many as 45% of cases elude diagnosis after a standard workup, and many tests commonly used in syncope evaluation are costly and have a low diagnostic yield (2,3).
