Vasovagal syncope and vasovagal disease.
(Hellenic Journal of Cardiology) HJC ñ 61 I solated vasovagal syncope (VVS) is not a disease, but rather the clinical manifestation of an autonomic reflex to which all (or almost all) individuals are predisposed. Why certain subjects appear to be more susceptible than others to the development of paradoxical hypotension and bradycardia, and why the event occurs at one time and not another, rema...
متن کاملMalignant Vasovagal Syncope: Physiopathology, Diagnosis, Epidemiology, and Medical Treatment
The encouraging results from the "Inotropy Controlled Pacing in Vasovagal Syncope" (INVASY) Italian multicenter clinical trial – which demonstrated the effectiveness of pacing based on Closed Loop Stimulation (CLS, Biotronik, Germany) in preventing vasovagal syncope (VVS) [1,2] – provided us incentive to prepare a review entitled "Malignant Vasovagal Syncope." The review provides an updated rev...

Most of the patients were women (10 of 13) with a mean age of 45 years (range 21-72 years). The histories were more consistent with vasovagal syncope than with epilepsy. This was supported by electroencephalographic and tilt test results. More polysomnographic mon...
متن کاملRecurrent Postural Vasovagal Syncope
Background—The pathophysiology of vasovagal syncope is poorly understood, and the treatment usually ineffective. Our clinical experience is that patients with vasovagal syncope fall into 2 groups, based on their supine systolic blood pressure, which is either normal ( 100 mm Hg) or low (70–100 mm Hg). We investigated neural circulatory control in these 2 phenotypes. Methods and Results—Sympathe...
