Clinical 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 کاملNeurocardiogenic, 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 کاملDoes any therapy really work for neurocardiogenic syncope?
Effectiveness of a treatment for neurocardiogenic syncope can be defined in terms of symptom response, quality-of-life, healthcare utilization, treatment side effects and cost-effectiveness. Most trials have focused on syncope recurrence or burden, without assessing quality-of-life formally. Drug and device interventions are characterized by a dearth of randomized controlled trials, with those ...
متن کاملCan we assess the efficacy of therapy in neurocardiogenic syncope?
Blood pressure and heart rate are controlled by complex interactions between different reflexes, including input from low-pressure cardiopulmonary receptors and high-pressure baroreceptors that are within the aortic arch and carotid sinus. Although the exact mechanisms leading to neurocardiogenic (vasovagal) syncope remain somewhat unclear, during central volume unloading the inactivation of hi...
متن کاملMyocardial Performance Index in Neurocardiogenic Syncope Patients
BACKGROUND Many syncopes resulting from neural reflexes in various conditions are called neurocardiogenic syncope (NCS). We aimed to investigate the presence of left ventricular (LV) myocardial performance index (MPI) in patients with NCS, which was diagnosed with head-up tilt table test (HUTT), and the accurateness of the test in order to use it as a method in patients with NCS. Assuming the M...
