Vasovagal syncope (VVS) is most common cause of syncope,1 with 37 % of the population suffering at least one attack during their life time.2 Head up tilt-table testing (HUTT) was first evaluated and used for the diagnosis of VVS in 1986.3–4 Prior to this, diagnosis relied purely on the clinical history and exclusion of other conditions. With almost 40 % of patients with VVS experiencing no… View more

One of the greatest achievements of public health in the twentieth century has been the almost doubling of life expectancy in the Western world. Yet this now ageing population brings new challenges, as the prevalence of little-understood geriatric conditions increases, together with the rising prevalence of age-related disorders, such as syncope. The definition of syncope, as outlined by the… View more

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a hereditary primary myocardial disease that is most commonly caused by mutations within genes encoding sarcomeric contractile proteins and is characterised by left ventricular hypertrophy in the absence of a cardiac or systemic cause.1,2 The condition is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait and has a prevalence of one in 500.3,4 Marked genetic… View more

Topic: 4. Arrhythmias Introduction and Objectives The more time the heart rhythm is evaluated, the more rhythm disturbances are diagnosed in patients with syncope, palpitations or cryptogenic stroke. Increasing from 24-48h to 30 days with external holter allows further registering cardiac rhythm without invasive and expensive techniques such as ILR (implantable loop recorder). Moreover, it… View more

Current Controversies and Challenges in Brugada Syndrome
Author(s): Afik D Snir , Hariharan Raju Added: 3 years ago
Brugada syndrome was first described in 1993 in a case series of eight patients with recurrent polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) and stereotypical electrographic characteristics in the context of a structurally normal heart.1 Since then, the syndrome has been extensively studied and recognised worldwide as a major cause of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in otherwise healthy patients.2 Recent… View more
