  • Title: Vasovagal syncope masquerading as unexplained falls in an elderly patient.
    Author: Parry SW, Kenny RA.
    Journal: Can J Cardiol; 2002 Jul; 18(7):757-8. PubMed ID: 12167964.
    Abstract:
    The authors report the case of a 78-year-old woman who had recurrent, unexplained falls. No witness account of these episodes was available. During head-up tilt testing, the patient had vasodepressor vasovagal syncope. Afterwards, she had amnesia from loss of consciousness. Her symptoms (falls) responded to the withdrawal of culprit medications.
