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...
While it is important to address driving restrictions during the initial assessment of patients who present after syncope, there is a paucity of recommendations regarding driving safety after VVS.

This book is exceptional in being devoted solely to vasovagal syncope (VVS), the most frequent cause of transient loss of consciousness in the general population. All aspects of VVS are covered, including epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, prognosis, therapy and implica...
The reflex is often triggered by excitement, activity, or coughing (a type of situational syncope). • There can be a “disconnect” between the recovery of the sinus node function and the return to normal systemic vascular resistance (which can be delayed). This point is pivotal because ...
A vasovagal syncope, although benign and characterized by a favorable prognosis, might become dangerous if occurs during driving or in a work setting intrinsically hazardous. In addition, some working activities, such as those requiring a prolonged orthostatic posture or a warm environment, may act ...
No patient had syncope or injury during driving. In conclusion, syncope and injury while driving in patients with neurocardiogenic syncope is rare. The precise mechanism of this is unclear but may be related to posture during driving. Consensus among the medical community will be needed to ...
A device is worn adjacent to tissue of a patient to detect vasovagal syncope (VVS). The device includes a photoplethysmographic sensor that measures a plethysmographic signal throug

Vasovagal syncope is the most common cause of syncope, but its risk for driving remains uncertain. We analyzed the clinical characteristics of patients who had syncope during driving and subsequently underwent the head-up tilt test (HUTT). Of the 245 consecutive patients undergoing HUTT, 23 (9%...
