Therapy of vasovagal syncope: to prevent the vasovagal reflex or to treat the impending reflex?
Vasovagal syncope (VVS) can be classical (typical) or non-classical (atypical). Classical VVS is diagnosed when precipitating events, such as emotional or orthostatic triggers, are associated with typical autonomic prodromes. If triggers and/or prodromes are not present, VVS is defined as non-classical. The mechanisms of VVS have not been completely elucidated. Our knowledge of the afferent par...
متن کاملSimple self-help maneuvers are effective in aborting vasovagal syncope.
Aborting Vasovagal Syncope To the Editor: The recent article by Lu et al1 reminded us of the frequency of vasovagal syncope (neurally mediated syncope) in the general population—22%. Although effective therapy, both pharmacologically and with a pacemaker, is now available,2 prevention is still the best recourse. Because vasovagal syncope is preceded by prodromal symptoms in two thirds of cases,...
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 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...
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...
