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 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...
متن کاملNeurocardiogenic syncope: a model for SIDS.
A 5 1/2 month old male infant who had suffered three acute life threatening episodes was admitted for overnight sleep studies but was found dead after their completion while still in hospital. A necropsy classified the cause of death as sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). The sleep studies had shown no periods of apnoea (> 20 seconds) or bradycardia (< 90 beats/min), and a rapid response to na...
متن کاملThe Use Of Sertraline In Neurocardiogenic Syncope
Recurrent unexplained syncope is a common and frustrating clinical problem, which accounts for approximately 3% of all adult emergency room visits and 6% of all admissions to the adult medical service. (Kapoor, et al, 1983) Many of these recurrent unexplained syncopal episodes are felt to be secondary to transient periods of neurally mediated hypotension and bradycardia, i.e. "vasovagal" syncop...
