A clinical vignette presenting a typical case of recurrent neurocardiogenic syncope to prompt discussion on evaluation and management.
A 23-year-old nurse presents for evaluation after having five episodes of syncope at work during the previous three months. All the episodes occurred while she was standing and were characterized by a feeling of light-headedness lasting one to two seconds and then an abrupt loss of consciousness. Two of the episodes caused falls that resulted in facial trauma. The syncope was brief and not associated with incontinence; it was followed by severe fatigue but no confusion. How should the patient be evaluated and treated?
