Extractions: From 1 to 6 percent of people hospitalized are admitted to the hospital for syncope (brief loss of consciousness). Studies during the 1980s concluded that syncope due to cardiovascular causes led to more deaths than noncardiovascular or unexplained syncope. The findings from a recent study appear to contradict this earlier conclusion. The study, which was supported in part by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality National Research Service Award training grant T32 HS00069), demonstrates that patient survival is not related to the cause of syncope. In fact, doctors cannot be sure that hospitalized elderly patients with noncardiovascular and unexplained syncope will have excellent outcomes, conclude William S. Getchell, M.D., M.P.H., and colleagues at the Oregon Health Sciences University and Portland Veterans Affairs Medical Center. They used databases of three diverse health care systems in Oregon to identify 1,516 elderly patients diagnosed with syncope and to determine factors that influenced their survival after discharge. The treating clinicians identified cardiovascular causes (most commonly arrhythmias) of syncope in 19 percent of patients and noncardiovascular causes such as anemia, seizures, dehydration, or drug-induced syncope, in 40 percent. The remaining 42 percent of patients were discharged with unexplained syncope. Death from all causes was 1 percent during hospitalization, 13 percent 1 year later, and 41 percent 4 years later. However, the relative risk of dying for individuals with cardiovascular syncope (relative risk, RR 1.18) did not differ from that for unexplained syncope (RR 1.0) and noncardiovascular syncope (RR 0.94). On the other hand, age and coexisting illness had a profound impact on survival. Individuals under age 55 had generally excellent outcomes compared with those aged 85 and older (91 percent vs. 31 percent survival 4 years after hospitalization). Similarly, individuals with no other illness had better survival than those with several coexisting illnesses (81 percent vs. 23 percent at 4 years).

Extractions: While neurologic disease may produce acute orthostatic intolerance, most acute OI is produced by syncope (literally "to chop off" in Greek) in which there is a sudden transient loss of consciousness produced by decreased cerebral blood flow. Mostly this is caused by a sudden fall of blood pressure below the range where cerebral autoregulation can maintain consciousness. It may be due to medication, cardiac disease, most commonly arrhythmic disease, or severe impairment of cardiac output by mechanical failure or obstruction. It may be due to transient impairment of central nervous system function as in a transient ischemic attack but this is less common. However, although convulsive-like movements may occur during syncope, it is distinct from a seizure disorder, and is distinct from coma in which loss of consciousness is not transient at all. Other forms of simple faint may involve either an isolated fall in heart rate (so-called cardioinhibitory syncope), or an isolated fall in blood pressure (so-called vasomotor or dysautonomic syncope). In addition some simple faints aren't so simple and may be associated with prolonged asystole and personal injury. Often this occurs with so-called "convulsive syncope" which may be mistaken for a seizure. These forms of syncope are denoted by many other terms which seem to change from year to year and include neurally mediated hypotension, neurocardiogenic syncope and many others. The nomenclature is confusing.

Extractions: Syncope: a fainting, a musical disruption, an elision. The Marquise of O's baby, conceived in a swoon, is born of such a lapse. The tango, with a dip, suspends a woman in time. Poetry skips a beat and compresses the world. By disclosing moments of "syncopation" in the discourses of Plato, Descartes, Pascal, Hegel, and Kierkegaard, Catherine Clément critiques a certain operation of classical Western logocentric philosophy that always tries to master any fissure of uncertainty. She plays with the paradigm of syncope as it appears in medicine, grammar, music, and poetry. As she uncovers syncopation in Indian philosophies, Clément develops an anthropological account of ravishment in India and at the same time tackles global problems of power through various concepts of the subject. A study of absence among those who traffic in time, her book offers a thrilling look into the lapses where rapture awaits us. has been a professor, a journalist, and cultural editor of Le Matin.

http://home.coqui.net/myrna/sync.htm

Extractions: Syncope is defined as the sudden loss of consciousness and postural tone resulting from an abrupt, transient, and diffuse cerebral malfunction followed by spontaneous recovery. It is due to a sudden reduction in delivery of a vital substrate (usually oxygen) to the brain. In some patients, loss of consciousness may be preceded by a state or presyncope that may be defined as a prodrome of distinctive premonitory symptoms, including dizziness, lightheadedness, pallor, diaphoresis, and palpitations. These may occur in any combination or be variably present in any given patient from one episode to the next.

Extractions: Subscribe now >> Syncope is a neurological condition characterized by the temporary loss of consciousness due to a temporary decline in blood flow to the brain. It may be caused by an irregular cardiac rate or rhythm or by changes of blood volume or distribution. Syncope can occur in otherwise healthy people. Symptoms of the condition may include feeling faint, dizzy, or lightheaded, and losing consciousness without warning. Non-cardiac syncope is treated acutely by lying down with the legs elevated. Infrequent episodes of non-cardiac syncope usually do not require treatment. Syncope is a dramatic event and can even be life-threatening. Generally, however, a short period of confusion may follow syncope and, recovery is usually complete within minutes. Information provided by the

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).
