  • Title: [Vasovagal syncope as a cause of serious body injury - two case reports].
    Author: Gajek J, Zyśko D.
    Journal: Kardiol Pol; 2003 Apr; 58(4):294-6. PubMed ID: 14517562.
    Abstract:
    Vasovagal syncope is a reflex reaction, leading to marked hypotension and/or bradycardia with transient loss of consciousness and the postural muscle tone. The recovery is spontaneous and usually rapid. Serious body injuries caused by fainting are rare. We present two patients with vasovagal syncope which caused serious injury. Different therapeutic options, including pacemaker implantation, are discussed.
