Vasovagal syncope, also called neurocardiogenic syncope, is common with younger people. It results from an inappropriate, excessive autonomic reflex activity. In the elderly patient the syncope may be provoked by massage of the carotid bodies and is then known as carotid sinus syndrome. The pathogenesis of neurocardiogenic syncope is debated.

Recenti progressi in medicina, 1993
The nature of most syncopal episodes, previously unknown, was recently elucidated by new diagnostic techniques such as the use of the tilt test. The vasovagal syncope can be clinically diagnosed by means of the tilt test. The transitory loss of consciousness during prolonged orthostasis is typically associated with sudden hypotension and bradycardia ...
