چکیده
as a complication of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia. Further studies are obviously necessary to better identify these subgroups. The ECG may be an interesting diagnostic tool with which to identify the disease in a screening process, to delineate its clinical forms, to follow its evolution in order to identify its complications and finally to have a better evaluation of its prognosis.

Vasovagal Syncope Treated as Epilepsy for 16 Years
The differentiation of vasovagal syncope and epileptic seizure is sometimes problematic, since vasovagal syncope may mimic epileptic seizures in many ways. The present report describes a patient who had been diagnosed and treated as having epilepsy with medically-refractory sei-zures for 16 years. Often, unlike epileptic seizures, tonic-clonic convulsions and postictal confusion are uncommon fe...
متن کاملRole of the serotonergic system in the genesis of vasovagal syncope.
AIMS The hypotensive reflex responsible for vasovagal syncope appears related to a reduction in sympathetic neural outflow. Several animal studies suggest that serotonin may play a role in the genesis of this reflex, through inhibition of sympathetic activity. However, the role of the serotonergic system is unknown in humans. The purpose of the study was to investigate the role of the serotoner...
متن کاملPrediction of Vasovagal Syncope based on Body Vigilance and Alexithymia Variables
Introduction: Vasovagal syncope is the most common type of syncope and recurrent syncope attacks can have a profound effect on the patients' quality of life. The aim of this study was to predict vasovagal syncope based on the variables of body vigilance and alexithymia. Methods: The present study was a case-control study. The statistical population of the present study included the patients wi...
متن کاملRole of endogenous adenosine as a modulator of syncope induced during tilt testing.
BACKGROUND Previous reports that used head-up tilt testing and adenosine administration have suggested that adenosine may be an important endogenous mediator that may trigger a vasovagal response in susceptible patients. However, little is known regarding endogenous adenosine plasma levels (APLs) during vasovagal syncope provoked by tilt testing. The aim of this study was to determine whether A...
متن کاملNeurohumoral antecedents of vasodepressor reactions.
Vasodepressor (vasovagal) syncope, the most common cause of acute loss of consciousness, can occur in otherwise vigorously healthy people during exposure to stimuli decreasing cardiac filling. Antecedent physiological or neuroendocrine conditions for this dramatic syndrome are poorly understood. This study compared neurocirculatory responses to non-hypotensive lower body negative pressure (LBNP...
