The Search for the Genes of Vasovagal Syncope [PDF]
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2019 Only humans faint, and not all do so. Syncope tends to recur, and the predisposition to syncope can persist over many decades. Observations such as these have suggested that there may be a genetic predisposition to vasovagal syncope.

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2002 Vasovagal syncope is a common condition, usually associated with a benign prognosis. Most sufferers experience only occasional symptoms, and can be treated with reassurance and lifestyle advice. However, a minority of patients are debilitated by frequent

The pathophysiology of the vasovagal response [PDF]
Heart Rhythm, 2018 In part I of this study, we found that the classical studies on vasovagal syncope, conducted in fit young subjects, overstated vasodilatation as the dominant hypotensive mechanism. Since 1980, blood pressure and cardiac output have been measured continuously using noninvasive methods during tilt, mainly in patients with recurrent syncope, including ...

Is vasovagal syncope a disease? [PDF]
EP Europace, 2007 Vavovagal syncope (VVS) is not generally associated with cardiovascular, neurological or other diseases, and, therefore, represents an isolated manifestation. Isolated VVS cannot be regarded as a disease for several reasons: spontaneous syncope occurs in about half of individuals during their lives, and the unidentified neural pathways involved in the ...

Familial vasovagal syncope [PDF]
Europace, 2005 Vasovagal syncope (VVS) is a common clinical problem characterized by transient episodes of loss of consciousness due to abnormal autonomic activity. This paper describes two groups of monozygotic twins, from different families, affected by VVS and a family with several members with this condition.
