VASODEPRESSOR SYNCOPE Vasodepressor syncope is a common medical problem that can usually be diagnosed through an accurate history and upright tilt testing. In most cases, long-term therapy is not necessary, and the majority of patients experience a striking decrease in syncopal episodes following a tilt test and the ensuing reassuring explanation from their physician.

Presyncope/Syncope The most common cause of both syncope and presyncope is a sudden fall in blood pressure. Sometimes there is an obvious precipitating factor (e.g. having a blood test or the sight of blood) but at other times it seems a random event.

- Vasovagal (cardioneurogenic) syncope Vasovagal syncope (also known as cardioneurogenic syncope) is the most common cause of syncope, probably accounting for more than 80% of all syncopal episodes. It is caused by the sudden dilation of blood vessels in the legs in response to an exaggerated neurological reflex.

- 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. Non-cardiac causes: Syncope is most commonly caused by conditions that do not directly involve the heart.

- Several triggers can cause vasovagal syncope. To help reduce the risk of fainting, you can avoid some of these triggers such as: Standing for long periods. Excess heat. Intense emotion, such as fear. Intense pain. The sight of blood or a needle. Prolonged exertion. Dehydration. Skipping meals.

- Fainting (syncope) is caused by a temporary reduction in blood flow to the brain. Blood flow to the brain can be interrupted for a number of reasons. The different causes of fainting are explained below. Fainting is most commonly caused by a temporary malfunction in the autonomic nervous system.

Overview This sequence of events is called the vasovagal response, and it can cause you to feel weak, nauseous and even faint. In fact, it's the most common cause of fainting. When vasovagal response causes fainting, it is called vasovagal syncope. Vasovagal response is usually harmless. It almost always goes away on its own, and even people who faint wake up almost immediately. However, some people have been injured after fainting suddenly and falling.

- In other cases, it is caused by abnormal nervous system responses to activities such as urinating, having a bowel movement, coughing, or swallowing. In still other cases, no trigger can be identified. In most cases of vasovagal syncope, you have some warning that you are near fainting. These signs include dizziness, nausea, pale skin, tunnel-like vision, and profuse sweating. After the episode, symptoms may continue because of continued low blood pressure.

3 - Autonomic, Baroreceptor & Chemoreceptor Regulation Upon standing, gravitational forces cause venous blood to drop to the lower extremities, reducing venous return, and causing a sudden drop in cardiac output. Venous constriction via the baroreceptor-stimulated sympathetic activation, alleviate the drop in venous return and help prevent the drop in arterial blood pressure and syncope. Increased skeletal muscle activity associated with standing also helps facilitate venous return.

Effexor Before you faint due to vasovagal syncope, you may experience some of the following: 1  Pale skin. 2  Lightheadedness. 3  Tunnel vision — your field of vision narrows so that you see only what's in front of you. 4  Nausea. Feeling warm.  A cold, clammy 1  sweat. Yawning.  Blurred vision.

Heart Reduced brain oxygen causing syncope is due to a sudden drop in blood flow to your brain. This may be caused by: 1  drop in blood pressure. 2  changes of blood volume.

- Vasovagal syncope occurs in response to a trigger, with a corresponding malfunction in the parts of the nervous system that regulate heart rate and blood pressure.

Syncope Syncope is caused by a decrease in blood flow to the brain. When blood flow to the brain decreases, oxygen to the brain also decreases. Any of the following conditions may cause syncope: Heart conditions, such as aortic stenosis, or cardiac arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat), may cause syncope.

Vasovagal (Neurocardiogenic) Syncope Vasovagal Syncope. Vasovagal syncope (also called cardioneurogenic syncope) is a temporary loss of consciousness caused by a neurological reflex that produces either sudden dilation of the blood vessels in the legs, or a very slow heart rate (bradycardia), or both.

Reflex syncope Reflex syncope is divided into three types: vasovagal, carotid sinus, and situational. Vasovagal syncope is typically triggered by seeing blood, pain, emotional stress, or prolonged standing. Situational syncope is often triggered by urination, swallowing, or coughing.

VASODEPRESSOR SYNCOPE Vasodepressor syncope often occurs in social settings where such corrective measures are not able to be applied. A typical syncope-enhancing setting in the United States is a church service. Vasodepressor syncope frequently occurs in restaurants and at cocktail parties.

- There are different syncope syndromes which fall under the umbrella of vasovagal syncope. The common element among these conditions is the central mechanism which may lead to the loss of consciousness. The differences among them are in the factors that trigger this mechanism.

Fainting People older than 45 years of age rarely experience a first common faint.. Causes of vasovagal syncope include the following: 1  Environmental factors: Most commonly in a hot, crowded setting. 2  Emotional factors: Stress or the sight or threat of injury.

Vasovagal (Neurocardiogenic) Syncope In most people with vasovagal syncope, the dilation of blood vessels appears to be the predominant factor that causes loss of consciousness. In some people, however, the slowing of the heart rate plays a major role.

- Other diseases with generalized, primary dysautonomia include multiple system atrophy and familial dysautonomia. Hallmarks of generalized dysautonomia due to sympathetic failure are impotence (in men) and a fall in blood pressure during standing (orthostatic hypotension).atients with chronic, progressive, generalized dysautonomia in the setting of central nervous system degeneration have a generally poor long-term prognosis. Death can occur from pneumonia, acute respiratory failure, or sudden cardiopulmonary arrest in such patients.

- This is due to a depressing of a. vasoconstriction reflex due to prolonged immobility. When it is depressed, blood pools in the. legs, central BP drops and cerebral perfusion drops leading to dizziness, lightheadedness, faintness, pallor. The body tries to counter this by increasing the heart rate.

- Problems with the blood vessels of the brain may cause syncope. A rapid drop in blood pressure may cause syncope. This can happen after a body position change such as moving from a lying position to a sitting or standing position. Reflexive reaction is a nervous system response that causes syncope. It can happen when you urinate or strain hard during bowel movements.

How is fainting (syncope) diagnosed? Heart structural conditions. Structural problems with the heart can cause fainting or syncope, either because there is a problem with the ability of the heart to adequately pump blood or because of valve problems. When the heart muscle becomes damaged or inflamed it may not have the ability to pump blood to meet the body's needs.
