Therapy for Syncope - 29/06/15
Résumé |
The diagnostic process in patients with syncope is not always easy and includes a detailed clinical history, physical examination and baseline electrocardiogram; according to the results of these initial approaches, some additional tests must be performed. Using this strategy, the cause of syncope is diagnosed in 60% to 80% of patients; in the remaining patients, risk stratification can be established to identify those patients at risk of having cardiac events or death at midterm follow-up. This article reviews the treatment of patients with syncope according to the different causes.
