Tilt Testing in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Syncope [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
A síncope neurocardiogénica é uma entidade com prevalência e incidência significativas. Apesar da baixa mortalidade relacionada com esta entidade, são significativas as implicações na qualidade de vida dos doentes.

Head-Up Tilt Testing with Different Nitroglycerin Dosages: Experience in Elderly Patients with Unexplained Syncope [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
AIMS: Protocols using sublingual nitrates have been increasingly used to improve diagnostic accuracy of head-up tilt testing (HUT). Nevertheless, exaggerated responses to nitrates have been frequently described, particularly in elderly patients.

Haemodynamic‐energetic mechanism of sudden cardiac death in severe aortic stenosis: A modelling study

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend A sudden decrease in total peripheral resistance (TPR), as observed during vasovagal syncope, leads to a reduction in aortic systolic pressure (AO pressure) and afterload. In healthy individuals, the consequent decrease in left ventricular systolic pressure (LV pressure) lowers stroke work and myocardial energy expenditure.

Self-organization of blood pressure regulation: Clinical evidence

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2016
The pathogenesis of vasovagal syncope has remained elusive despite many efforts to identify an underlying dysfunction. Catastrophe theory explains the spontaneous occurrence of sudden events in some mathematically complex systems known as self-organized ...

The human fear-circuitry and fear-induced fainting in healthy individuals The paleolithic-threat hypothesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The Paleolithic-Threat hypothesis reviewed here posits that habitual efferent fainting can be traced back to fear-induced allelic polymorphisms that were selected into some genomes of anatomically, mitochondrially, and neurally modern humans (Homo

Determinants of maximal oxygen uptake in highly trained females and males: a mechanistic study of sex differences using advanced invasive methods

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The results from this study show that maximal cardiac output, stroke volume and leg blood flow are similar between highly trained females and males after normalisation to lean body mass (LBM). However, the 10% higher haemoglobin concentration ([Hb]) and arterial O2 content in males result in higher systemic and leg O2 delivery ...

Brugada Syndrome: New Implications for Heterozygous Carriers of the Pathogenic SCN5A c.689T>C(p.Ile230Thr) Variant

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 200, Issue 5, Page 1083-1086, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Pathogenic variants in the SCN5A gene and its subunits have been identified in individuals with Brugada Syndrome. One such SCN5A variant, c.689T>C(p.Ile230Thr), was previously reported as disease‐causing only in homozygous individuals, with heterozygous carriers being unaffected.

Tilt Test as a Primary Non-Invasive Method for Testing Cardiac Autonomic Nervous System Function in Patients with Vasovagal Syncope

open access: yesУкраїнський журнал серцево-судинної хірургії
Introduction Syncope is a sudden, brief loss of consciousness with rapid spontaneous recovery, caused by transient global cerebral hypoperfusion. Among various causes of syncope, the most common are reflex mechanisms, particularly vasovagal syncope ...

Spectral analysis of heart rate variability for assessment of autonomic nervous system activity during head-up tilt table testing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Spectral analysis of heart rate variability was used to assess changes in activity of autonomic nervous system (ANS) in 84 patients with history of recurrent syncope and 21 normal controls.

Meniere’s, Migraine & Motion Sickness [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
CONCLUSION Elevated MSS in MD is likely to be a consequence of the onset of MD and not migraine per se. OBJECTIVES Pathologies of the vestibular system influence motion sickness susceptibility (MSS).
