Why the study?
Does active permanent cardiac pacing prevent syncopal recurrence in patients with severe recurrent tilt-induced vasovagal syncope?
Does active permanent cardiac pacing prevent syncopal recurrence in patients with severe recurrent tilt-induced vasovagal syncope?
Active permanent cardiac pacing is not superior to inactive pacing for preventing syncopal recurrence in patients with severe recurrent tilt-induced vasovagal syncope.
Active pacing not superior to inactive for syncope prevention; challenges routine pacing in tilt-induced vasovagal syncope and directs research to alternatives.
Our data were unable to show a superiority of active pacing versus inactive pacing in preventing syncopal recurrence in patients with severe recurrent tilt-induced vasovagal syncope.
