EVALUATION A general approach to the patient is reviewed in the Algorithm. History. Inquire about precipitating factors as well as symptoms before and after syncopal spells (Table 1). A precipitating factor such as postural changes points to an orthostatic cause. ...
Syncope of unknown origin: evidence-based algorithm The published diagnostic yield of ILR, tilt testing and EP study along with the accumulation of data in the last two decades have led us, authors of the present article, to generate a diagnostic and therapeutic algorithmic tool approach for pati...
Syncope is a common presenting complaint in the ER and is up to 6% of admissions every year with an estimated workup cost of more than $2 billion. Many low yield diagnostic tests are ordered seemingly due to a lack of a clear follow of standardized evaluation algorithm. Head computed ...
Additionally, an exemplary translation of the eEPC into a practice-based flowchart algorithm, which can be used as an example for practical use in the ED, is provided in this work. Syncope patients, initially presenting with TLOC, are common and pose challenges in the ED. Despite variations ...
syncopeDescribed is an atypical presentation of a rare condition. It highlights the importance of thorough algorithm of medical and family history, physical examination, appropriate investigations, and perioperative workup and for surgery. The report demonstrates how even such very rare nonsecreting ...
