Syncope – Novel Investigation Strategies and Treatment Approaches

Description

Syncope is a very common disorder that confronts cardiac electrophysiologists daily. Despite this ubiquity, there is still significant uncertainty about the best diagnostic strategy for patients with syncope and a structurally normal heart.

Learning Objectives

Describe the evaluation of patients with orthostatic intolerance.
Review the evidence for pharmacological treatments for vasovagal syncope with a discussion of emerging treatments.
Discuss the diagnostic evaluation of patients presenting with cardiac symptoms after COVID-19 infection.
