Abstract | Syncope is the abrupt and transient loss of consciousness associated with absence of postural tone, followed by a rapid and usually complete recovery. This symptom is alarming for the individual, witnesses, family, and physicians. Although syncope can be a harbinger of a multitude of disease processes and can mimic the appearance of a cardiac arrest, it is most often benign and self-limited. Inthis paper we discuss evaluation of the patient with syncope in emergency department. | |
