    Extractions: Syncope accounts for 3 percent of emergency room visits and 6 percent of hospital admissions, according to the American Heart Association. 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. 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.

Heart Murmur Syncope Daisy was adopted about five months ago at which time the new owners knew she had been previously diagnosed with a heart murmur. A couple months ago, Daisy had an episode in which the owner described as beginning with a choking-like action followed by Daisy falling into lateral recumbency. Daisy remained unconscious for about one minute without movement or defecation/urination. After regaining consciousness, it took Daisy about a day to fully recover to her normal attitude. A second episode occurred last week while Daisy was going down some stairs. The owner was following behind and tried to help her get off the stairs at which time her front legs buckled under her and she remained unconscious for less than one minute. After this episode, she seemed to perk up immediately after the episode and seemed unaffected. During this episode, Daisy's tongue went white, her body was cold, and she urinated. Daisy is fairly active and climbs a long set of stairs to the owner's work everyday without evidence of tiring. She is fed once a day.

Contact Us Explanation Causes Diagnosis Treatment Syncope (fainting) is common during childhood. In one medical study, almost 50 percent of interviewed college students claimed to have fainted at least once in their lifetime. Despite its high frequency, syncope generates a great deal of anxiety among patients and their caregivers, predominantly because of the fear that people with syncope are at risk for sudden death. Return to Top Syncope is caused by a sudden decrease in blood pressure, which temporarily deprives the brain of a sufficient amount of oxygen. Dizziness often occurs before syncope and many patients complain of dizziness without syncope. Syncope has a variety of causes. Occasionally, syncope is caused by a neurologic problem such as a seizure or migraine headache. Other non-cardiac causes of syncope include breath-holding spells, rapid breathing (hyperventilation), hysteria, and exposure to certain drugs or toxins.

Medical Term Syncope Syncope: Partial or complete loss of consciousness with interruption of awareness of oneself and ones surroundings. When the loss of consciousness is temporary and there is spontaneous recovery, it is referred to as syncope or, in nonmedical quarters, fainting . Syncope accounts for one in every 30 visits to an emergency room. It is pronounced sin-ko-pea. Syncope is due to a temporary reduction in blood flow and therefore a shortage of oxygen to the brain. This leads to lightheadedness or a "black out" episode, a loss of consciousness. Temporary impairment of the blood supply to the brain can be caused by heart conditions and by conditions that do not directly involve the heart:

    Extractions: How to Feed Infants with Heart Disease Introduction: Syncope, the loss of consciousness usually due to decreased cerebral blood flow, is most often seen after the age of 10-12 years, and can be difficult to distinguish from epilepsy. Typically, teenaged girls come into the office after having had a syncopal attack, and it is your job to determine the extent of the workup needed. Symptoms of Syncope: Children will say they feel hot, perspire, and are nauseated before they pass out. About half of the patients with syncope have their eyes roll back in their heads, and even make brief tonic-clonic motions. It is important to remember that these symptoms do not imply seizure activity: there is no postictal state, and, if an EEG is obtained, it will be normal. Differential Diagnosis of Syncope: The exact etiology of syncope is found in about 25% of cases. The rest are considered to be vasovagal reactions.

    Extractions: Syncope is a temporary suspension of consciousness due to generalized cerebral ischemia - a reduction in the blood supply to the brain. Syncope is a very common problem that results in approximately six percent of all hospital admissions. Neurally Mediated / Neurocardiogenic Syncope The medical term for fainting is syncope. It comes from the Greek term "syncopa", meaning "to cut short". Syncope can occur due to many reasons, and figuring out the exact cause can be difficult. Over the last several years we have learned a lot about one particular cause of fainting: The disorder now known as neurocardiogenic syncope. Neurocardiogenic syncope is also known as vasovagal syncope or neurally mediated syncope. It describes a transient failure of the brain to adequately regulate the body's blood pressure and heart rate. The exact reasons why this occurs are still unclear, but a basic understanding is evolving. The blood pressure control centers are located in the posterior parts of the brain (the brainstem or medulla). Every time a person stands, gravity pulls blood toward the lower extremities. The brain senses this change and compensates by increasing the heart rate and tightening (constricting) the blood vessels of the legs, forcing blood back upward to the brain. These centers in the brainstem (the autonomic centers), then work as a sort of thermostat to regulate blood pressure. In neurocardiogenic syncope, the system periodically breaks down allowing the blood pressure to fall too low, causing the brain to lose its blood supply resulting in loss of consciousness (fainting).

Hauer, MD VOL 113 / NO 1 / JANUARY 2003 / POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE CME learning objectives The author discloses no financial interests in this article. This page is best viewed with a browser that supports tables. Preview : Syncope has many causes. Although the most common ones are generally benign and do not require extensive evaluation, cardiac syncope has high rates of recurrence and death. In this article, Dr Hauer describes how physical examination and electrocardiographic findings can guide further evaluation to provide the largest diagnostic yield at the lowest cost. Hauer KE. Discovering the cause of syncope. Postgrad Med 2003;113(1):31-38, 95 S yncope is a common problem, accounting for 3% of emergency department visits (1). Evaluation of syncope can be challenging for many reasons. First, syncope is not a diagnosis; rather, it is a symptom with many possible causes. Common causes, such as the vasovagal faint, are not serious. However, other causes are deadly and require further investigation. In addition, the history of a syncopal event often is unclear because the patient has amnesia and there were no witnesses to the event. As many as 45% of cases elude diagnosis after a standard workup, and many tests commonly used in syncope evaluation are costly and have a low diagnostic yield (2,3).

    http://home.uchicago.edu/~adamcifu/syncope.htm
    
    Extractions: Incredibly common. In one study a group of 711 pts with an average age of 87 there was an incidence of 6%/year and a prevalence of 23% over 10 years. We need to know about this entity for a number of reasons. Syncope makes up 2-5% of hospital admissions. People who have syncopal episodes have a higher mortality in the following years than those who don’t (in all but the oldest age group). 13% of people who have syncope will have a recurrence in the next year. It is important to make a diagnosis because the cause of syncope has a great effect on mortality. For pts averaging 67 years old the 1 year mortality for pts who left the hospital without a diagnosis or with a diagnosis of non cardiac syncope was 6%, while those with a cardiac cause of had a 19% one year mortality. Pathophysiology There is a pretty extensive differential for syncope . Something that must be kept in mind is that the elderly are likely to have many chronic illnesses and to be on many medications. This means that syncope can often not be attributed to a single diagnosis but is caused by the combination of many mild disorders. There are also a number of physiologic impairments in the elderly which must be kept in the back of your mind while considering these patients:
