Pathophysiology of Neurally Mediated Syncope: Peripheral and Central Mechanisms

  • Conference paper
Cardiac Arrhythmias 1995

  • 107 Accesses

Abstract

The neurally mediated syncopal syndromes (especially the “common” or vasovagal faint) have long been recognized as being among the most frequent causes of syncope in humans (Table 1; 1–7). Nonetheless, it is only recently (as the availability of tilt-table testing has increased physician awareness) that the pathophysiology and treatment of these syndromes have become the subject of widespread clinical interest (8–11).
