  • Title: [Swallowing syncope in a patient with diffuse esophageal spasm].
    Author: Ortiz de Murua JA, del Campo F, Avila MC, Villafranca JL, Diego JM.
    Journal: Rev Esp Cardiol; 1992 Oct; 45(8):543-4. PubMed ID: 1470746.
    Abstract:
    We present a patient with swallowing syncope. The esophageal manometric examination showed a diffuse spasm. This induces a vagovagal reflex mediated by tensoreceptors from the esophageal wall, which block the AV and/or sinus nodes.
