Index Spanish version Fainting (Syncope) What is fainting? Fainting is a brief, sudden loss of consciousness. You become unresponsive, lose muscle tone, and may fall. Usually, there is complete recovery in a matter of seconds to a few minutes. Fainting is fairly common and happens more often as people get older. The medical term for fainting is syncope. How does it occur? There are many different reasons for fainting. Usually fainting is not caused by a serious or life-threatening medical problem. However, if you are known to have heart disease, or you faint when you are physically exerting yourself, the cause may be serious and you may need prompt medical attention. One of the most common and least worrisome reasons for fainting is anxiety or other emotional upset. The anxiety causes fast breathing (hyperventilation), which alters your body chemistry enough to cause you to faint.

Cardiomyopathy Program What is syncope? Syncope is a temporary loss of consciousness and muscle tone caused by inadequate blood supply to the brain. Syncope is better known as fainting. Syncope affects people of all ages, from toddlers to the elderly. More than 100,000 adults and children visit a physician each year with complaints of fainting spells. What causes syncope? The common reason behind each syncopal or fainting episode is a temporary lack of oxygen-rich (red) blood getting to the brain. Many different problems can cause a decrease in blood flow to the brain. Types of syncope include: Vasovagal Syncope Orthostatic Hypotension Some children have abnormalities of the structures of the heart that can cause syncopal episodes. Heart defects causing "outflow obstruction" may produce fainting, because they restrict the blood flow to the body out of the left ventricle. Aortic stenosis and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy diminish the blood flow from the left ventricle through the aorta, and children with these problems may experience syncope. Irregular or rapid heart rhythms also can trigger syncope. When the heart beats rapidly or irregularly, the ventricles have less time to fill with blood before it is time to pump whatever blood is within them to the lungs or to the body. Not as much blood as normal leaves the heart and flows through the aorta with these abnormal rhythms, and the body reacts to the diminished blood flow to the brain by fainting.

Syncope is a temporary loss of consciousness and muscle tone caused by inadequate blood supply to the brain. Syncope is better known as fainting. Syncope affects people of all ages, from toddlers to the elderly. More than 100,000 adults and children visit a physician each year with complaints of fainting spells. What causes syncope? The common reason behind each syncopal or fainting episode is a temporary lack of oxygen-rich (red) blood getting to the brain. However, many different problems can cause a decrease in blood flow to the brain. Types of syncope include: Vasovagal syncope - The most common type of syncope is called vasovagal syncope. A variety of situations stimulate the vagus nerve, which leads to a slowing of the heart rate and dilation of the body's blood vessels. With a slow heart rate and dilated blood vessels, less blood gets to the brain, and fainting occurs. Pain and emotional stress can trigger vasovagal syncope in susceptible people. This type of syncope can happen more often in some families. Orthostatic hypotension - Another cause of syncope is orthostatic hypotension. This is a drop in blood pressure that occurs when a person has been standing for a while, or changes from a sitting to a standing position. Blood tends to pool in the legs, keeping a normal amount of blood from being returned to the heart, and thereby preventing a normal amount of blood from leaving the heart and going to the body. A momentary drop in blood flow to the brain occurs, and a person faints.

What is Syncope? The Alert Village Central Nervous System How the Brain Controls the Heart Photos ... Treatment Syncope: What is Syncope? Fainting is a sudden, temporary, loss of consciousness and muscle strength that results in falling down. Prior to fainting patients usually complain of feeling dizzy, light headed, losing balance, then start to feel their heart racing and may have cold sweating. Things then start to look dimmer and narrower like a tunnel, and then all of a sudden the person blacks out and falls down. Bystanders usually describe the patient as looking pale, or lost his color. Syncope is the medical term for fainting. Syncope is therefore a symptom, that could be caused by numerous different underlying conditions, e.g., it could result from something as simple as sight of blood to something as serious as a heart valve problem. Syncope occurs when there is a transient cessation of blood flow to the brain. Almost fainted!

Undergraduate Web Based Learning Packages All information contained in this webpage is intended for Canadian residents only and is NOT intended as specific medical advice for any individual with a medical condition similar that described herein. This page was last updated: Thu, Oct 23, 2003 Syncope Tutorial The objectives for this session include: 1. To stress the importance of a thorough clinical assessment of the patient who presents with syncope or presyncope. This includes important historical facts which point the clinician in the correct investigative direction. Uncommon fixed abnormalities leading to syncope (aortic stenosis, HOCM, atrial myxoma) are often discovered at this point, which should be emphasized. 2. To recognize the appropriate use of investigations after initial clinical assessment. This should emphasize the diagnostic yield of the history and physical, the utility of different monitoring strategies and the role of EP testing. Discussion should touch on which patients can be managed conservatively, and which patients are potentially at risk based on age and underlying heart disease, and require aggressive investigation. This includes patients who are likely to have vasodepressor syncope, and may not need further investigation (case #1), as well as case #3 in a patient at risk for ventricular tachycardia. 3. To recognize the importance of testing as a link to therapeutic decisions. This should include a limited discussion of the role of antiarrhythmic drugs, catheter ablation, pacemakers and defibrillator in patients who may present with arrhythmic syncope or presyncope.
