  • Title: [Recent advances in the treatment of syncopal syndromes].
    Author: Maggi R, Corallo S, Brignole M.
    Journal: Recenti Prog Med; 2006; 97(7-8):369-75. PubMed ID: 16913171.
    Abstract:
    Syncope is a transient, self-limited loss of consciousness, usually leading to falling. The underlying mechanism is a transient global cerebral hypoperfusion. Since there are many causes of syncope, a specific treatment cannot be administered without knowing the exact mechanism responsible for the loss of consciousness. The main therapeutic innovations of the most recent years are isometric counter-pressure maneuvres, lower limb compression bandage and therapy guided by implantable loop recorder in patients with recurrent suspected neurally-mediated syncope.
