Does an atrial leadless pacemaker successfully treat vasovagal syncope?
An atrial leadless pacemaker may be a successful treatment option for vasovagal syncope.
ILR may clarify etiology in recurrent reflex syncope; leaves open whether routine use improves outcomes in prospective cohorts.
Syncope is defined as a complete, transient loss of consciousness with rapid spontaneous recovery resulting from a presumed mechanism of cerebral hypoperfusion. Reflex syncope, a common form of vasovagal syncope (VVS), is associated with vasodilatation, cardioinhibitory response or both.1 It is typically nonfatal, but if it recurs frequently, it can lead to injury and significantly affect quality of life. A tool recommended for diagnosing the etiology of syncope is an Implantable Loop Recorder (ILR).
