Neurocardiogenic, vasovagal syncope
Dual chamber pacing with rate-drop response is one of the latest therapeutic innovations. It significantly reduces the likelihood of syncope but not the occurrence of presyncope. We concur with Benditt that it seems prudent to be cautious about the present status of cardiac pacing in vasovagal syncope. One of the most extensive overviews on pharmacological treatment is by Atiga et al.. The agen...
متن کاملVasovagal 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 کاملClinical review Neurocardiogenic syncope
Syncope is a common problem that many clinicians may encounter in various outpatient settings. Neurally mediated syncopal syndrome includes carotid sinus syndrome, situational syncope, and neurocardiogenic syncope (also known as vasovagal syncope), which is the most common cause of syncope in both children and adults, accounting for 50-66% of unexplained syncope. 2 The distinction between neuro...
متن کاملProvocation of neurocardiogenic syncope by clomipramine administration during the head-up tilt test in vasovagal syndrome.
OBJECTIVES We sought to test the hypothesis that activation of the serotonergic system in patients with vasovagal syndrome during the head-up tilt test provokes syncope. BACKGROUND Central serotonergic activation participates in the pathogenesis of neurocardiogenic syncope. Drugs increasing serotonin (5-HT) in the central nervous system have not been tested as drug challenges during the head-...
متن کاملVasovagal syncope interrupting sleep?
Clinical data are reported for 13 patients who were referred with recurrent loss of consciousness at night interrupting their sleep. 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...
