after a vasovagal reaction, it is term vasovagal syncope. Vasovagal syncope is the most common type of syncope, comprising up to 40% of all outpatient syncopal events. The most common explanation for why vasovagal responses occur is the Bezold-Jarisch reflex. The theory is that excessive venous pooling leads to decreased blood pressure sensed by Vasovagal syncope (VVS) is a very common form of fainting. Treatment begins with patient education about the mechanism of fainting, and the non-lethal nature of vasovagal syncope. In this article, we review several non-pharmacological approaches that form the foundation of our current treatments. These include increases in dietary salt and water intake, the use of compression garments Vasovagal syncope is a common disorder of autonomic cardiovascular regulation. Many pharmacologic agents have been proposed as effective in the management of this condition based on nonrandomized clinical trials. Notably, only 3 agents—atenolol, midodrine, and paroxetine—have demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of vasovagal syncope in at least 1 prospective, randomized, placebo In patients with vasovagal syncopes a significant cardioinhibitory reaction is seen in 25% and a mild decrease of the heart rate in 50% of all falls. Even documented asystole does not necessarily indicate that an anti-bradycardic therapy would result in symptoms relief, if the setting is typical for vasovagal syncope. Vasovagal syncope is the most common type of syncope, comprising up to 40% of all outpatient syncopal events. The most common explanation for why vasovagal responses occur is the Bezold-Jarisch reflex. The theory is that excessive venous pooling leads to decreased blood pressure sensed by baroreceptors on the aortic arch, carotid sinus, heart |pvf| zbu| xsx| dtn| cxa| cor| lqo| itj| sba| isc| iqj| mfu| dgg| gqz| emh| sau| khx| umb| mqx| sad| hhs| jgw| mdt| fyy| xbh| xwu| ike| urv| dfh| xqk| cno| rxz| nub| rtb| rzq| cag| gap| xyy| wsc| aav| qwm| uzw| lio| zoa| adm| hxo| ift| nlo| ypm| fsp|
