Abnormal cardiovascular responses to carotid sinus massage also occur in vasovagal syncope - implications for diagnosis and treatment

, 2010
Carotid sinus massage (CSM) is commonly used to identify carotid sinus hypersensitivity (CSH) as a possible cause for syncope, especially in older patients.

Cardiovascular Autonomic Dysfunction Is the Most Common Cause of Syncope in Paced Patients

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2019
Introduction: Syncope and orthostatic intolerance in paced patients constitute a common clinical dilemma. We, thus, aimed to determine the etiology of syncope and/or symptoms of orthostatic intolerance in paced patients.Methods: Among 1,705 patients with

Vasovagal syncope related to pain procedures in a pain clinic at a tertiary Lebanese hospital between 2016 and 2019

BMC Research Notes, 2021
Objectives Our study focuses on evaluating the factors associated with vasovagal syncope (VVS) when having a pain procedure at the pain clinic as well as showing variation in vital signs associated with fainting across different periods of the procedure (

Reflex Syncope With Complete Heart Block Triggered by Swallowing in a Patient on Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are now standard of care for most advanced solid tumors. While effective, they are associated with immune‐related adverse events (irAEs), including rare autonomic complications. We present a patient with metastatic lung adenocarcinoma receiving nivolumab and ipilimumab who developed reflex syncope with ...

Adenosine: Potential modulator for vasovagal syncope [PDF]

, 1996
Objectives. This study examined the hypothesis that adenosine could provoke a vasovagal response in susceptible patients. Mechanisms of the vasovagal response were further explored by studying the adenosine-mediated reactions.Background.

Effect of repeated hot water immersion on cognitive performance, cerebrovascular function, sleep and biomarkers of neurodegeneration in older adults

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Ageing is associated with cognitive decline and increased risk of developing neurodegenerative disease. Repeated passive heating, using hot water immersion (HWI), may improve cognitive performance via improved cerebral oxygenation, but this is yet to be examined in older adults.

Structural heart disease as the cause of syncope

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2018
We described the clinical evolution of patients with structural heart disease presenting at the emergency room with syncope. Patients were stratified according to their syncope etiology and available scores for syncope prognostication.

Effect of repeated hot water immersion on muscle strength, power, function and physical activity in healthy older adults: A randomised crossover trial

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Ageing leads to an increased prevalence of sarcopenia and frailty, characterised by progressive declines in muscle strength, power and function and reduced physical activity. Hot water immersion (HWI) could potentially improve muscle function, but this is yet to be explored in older adults.

Machine Learning Model Using Heart Rate Variability for the Prediction of Vasovagal Syncope

IEEE Access
Vasovagal syncope is a reversible condition that can cause serious events, such as cerebral hemorrhage. Predicting its occurrence is challenging; thus, this study aimed to develop machine learning models that use heart rate variability to predict the ...

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

The 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 ...
