  • Title: Syncope in Patients with Organic Heart Disease.
    Author: Olshansky B, Sullivan RM.
    Journal: Cardiol Clin; 2015 Aug; 33(3):449-63. PubMed ID: 26115831.
    Abstract:
    Patients with syncope and organic heart disease remain a small but important subset of those patients who experience transient loss of consciousness. These patients require thoughtful and complete evaluation in an attempt to better understand the mechanism of syncope and its relationship to the underlying disease, and to diagnose and treat both properly. The goal is to reduce the risk of further syncope, to improve long-term outcomes with respect to arrhythmic and total mortality, and to improve patients' quality of life.
