P wave dispersion on 12-lead electrocardiography in adolescents with neurocardiogenic syncope
PURPOSE Neurocardiogenic syncope (NCS) is the most frequent cause of fainting during adolescence. Inappropriate cardiovascular autonomic control may be responsible for this clinical event. The head-up tilt test has been considered a diagnostic standard, but it is cumbersome and has a high false-positive rate. We performed a study to evaluate whether P-wave dispersion (PWD) could be a useful ele...
متن کاملDysfunctional Behaviors in Children and Adolescents with Neurocardiogenic Syncope
Objective: We evaluate a large sample of children and adolescent with suspected neurocardiogenic syncope (NCS) and we compared the results with a healthy sample, with the aim to reveal a possible correlation between syncopal events and dysfunctional behaviors. Methods: A total number of ninety two patients with NCS (median age 14.7 years) were evaluated with Head-Up Tilt Test (HUTT) and psychol...
متن کاملP-wave Dispersion in Patients with Major Thalassemia
Abstract Background Prolonged P-wave duration and P-wave dispersion indicate interatrial conduction disturbance and early predict arrhythmia especially atrial fibrillation. Iron deposition in the atrial tissue might prolonged the atrial conduction time, and this study evaluated the P-wave prolongation and increased P-Wave dispersion in these patients. Materials and Methods Fifty patients w...
متن کاملClinical 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...
