A transient loss of consciousness (TLOC) may have different causes. The term syncope is restricted to an underlying sudden decrease in cerebral perfusion. In most cases, syncopes or other causes of TLOC are recognizable by a basic diagnosti...

Syncope is a frequent clinical event in the general population and occurs in up to every second patient during their lifetime. Reflex syncope is the most prevalent mechanism and is often triggered by orthostatic stress. Orthostatic hypotens...

Reflex-mediated syncope is a common cause for syncope. The first step in evaluating the cause of syncope is to assess the risk of a life-threatening cause for syncope, e.g., ventricular arrhythmias. Reflex-mediated syncope has to be differe...

In a 73-year-old patient, a loop recorder was implanted for syncope of unknown origin which allowed the diagnosis of sinus node disease with sinus bradycardia and sinus arrest. At implantation of a dual-chamber pacemaker, the loop recorder ...

In a 63-year-old woman, several capture beats were documented during a slow, right bundle-branch block tachycardia. These occur whenever retrograde conduction is lacking due to ventriculoatrial Wenckebach block. The 12-lead electrocardiogra...

Cardiac contractility modulating (CCM) signals are nonexcitatory signals applied during the absolute refractory period and have been shown to enhance the strength of left ventricular contraction in studies performed in animals and humans wi...
