Consensus algorithm guides vasovagal syncope evaluation; leaves open prospective validation before routine adoption.
Bloomfield et al. (1999) conducted a review in Vasovagal syncope and related disorders. Consensus algorithm for diagnosis and treatment was evaluated. A consensus panel established an algorithm for diagnosing and treating vasovagal syncope, emphasizing individualized use of tilt-table testing, lifestyle changes, pharmacotherapy, and pacing.
