Objective: We aimed to establish useful models for the clinical differential diagnosis between vasovagal syncope (VVS) and psychogenic pseudosyncope (PPS). Methods: This bicentric study included 176 ...

Sadly, this article 1 worsens the confusion by clearly stating that neurologic causes of syncope exist. This could cause practising physicians to include neurologic causes in the differential ...

Syncope is a frequent cause for emergency consultation and hospital admission; it is also an indicator of reduced survival rate among older adults. The differential diagnosis may be large, but ...

Discussion Our patient presented with syncope secondary to conduction disease, which required pacemaker insertion. The differential diagnosis of conduction disease in her age group includes coronary ...

This patient most likely had a true syncopal event, defined as the transient loss of consciousness due to global cerebral hypoperfusion. 1 The differential diagnosis for syncope can be divided ...

Furthermore, syncope duration was significant longer in PPS patients when compared to VVS patients. Remarkably, patients with VVS regained complete consciousness within 1–2 min after syncope onset, ...

Vasovagal syncope (VVS) usually occurs during orthostatic stress when the patient experiences not only a pooling of 500–700 ml of blood in dependent vessels, but also a progressive loss of a ...

Identification of the underlying cause of syncope is difficult and might not be established in up to 18% of cases. 1 A diagnosis is important, however, to determine the prognosis for each patient ...
