There are different types of syncope. Vasovagal syncope, or cardio-neurogenic syncope, is the most common form. Certain medical conditions, like orthostatic hypotension, may prevent the blood vessels from constricting normally. This can cause blood to pool in the lower extremities, instead of making...
Non-survivors more frequently had a cardiogenic (34%) or neurogenic (13%) cause of syncope (p 60 years, syncope due to neurogenic cause and abnormal ECG findings were independent predictors of increased mortality. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with syncope only comprise a small proportion of those seen ...
There’s a strong link between vasovagal syncope andanxiety, and it can have a cyclical effect. Strong feelings of stress and anxiety can be a trigger for syncope, and repeated fainting spells can raise anxiety levels and lead to mental health conditions like depression.11 Who’s at Risk for...

The most common cause of syncope is vasovagal syncope, which predominates in younger people and is usually harmless. Neurogenic orthostatic hypotension is the cause of syncope that occurs shortly after standing up. This is prevalent among older patients and is often caused by dysautonomia in the ...
