Editorial Genetics of the Faint - Hearted Great Results , Alternate Hypothesis

چکیده
In this issue of Circulation: Cardiovascular Genetics, Barsheshet et al shed novel and unexpected light on the genetics of syncope, defined as a transient loss of consciousness caused by cerebral hypoperfusion with spontaneous recovery. Syncope is very common, with a cumulative incidence of 37% by age 60 years.1,2 In “young” patients, by far the most common cause of syncope is vasovagal syncope, with a well-characterized symptom complex and a benign natural history.3,4 Hidden in the forest of vasovagal syncope are rare but more worrisome sentinel events that reflect more life-threatening arrhythmic disorders, particularly inherited arrhythmia syndromes such as long-QT syndrome (LQTS).5 The genetics of these syndromes are now relatively clear.
