Syncope Causes
- Cardiovascular-mediated syncope
- Dysrhythmias:
- WPW (pre-excitation)
- Long QT Syndrome
- Brugada Syndrome
- 2nd/3rd AV Block
- Afib/aflutter
- Vtach/torsades
- Sick sinus syndrome
- Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia
- Short QT syndrome
- Cardiovascular disease
- Valvular Disease (AS, MS, tricuspid stenosis)
- Aortic Dissection
- Myocardial Infarction
- CHF
- Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
- PE
- Pericardial Tamponade
- Myxoma
- Pulmonary Hypertension
- Pacemaker malfunction
- Dysrhythmias:
- Neurally mediated syncope
- Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (10% of pts present with syncope)
- Vasovagal:
- Fear, pain, emotion, valsalva, breath-holding spell
- Situational (associated with):
- Coughing, micturition, defecation, vomiting
- Carotid sinus stimulation
- Vasovagal:
- Orthostatic hypotension-mediated syncope:
- Volume depletion:
- Autonomic Dysreflexia
- Autonomic failure due to meds
- Other serious causes
- Stroke
- SAH
- TIA
- Vertebrobasilar Insufficiency
- Subclavian steal
- Heat syncope
- Hypoglycemia
