Syncope is characterized by a transient loss of consciousness. Swallow syncope, a rare cause of syncope, is caused by vagus nerve activation resulting in vasodilation and bradycardia, thus causing transient hypotension and cerebral hypoperfusion. It is diagnosed through clinical history, cardiac, and esophageal evaluation.

Aims: The study evaluated the positivity rate, haemodynamic responses, and prognosis in terms of syncopal recurrence among patients with situational syncope (SS) stratified according to the underlying situational triggers.

Methods And Results: We retrospectively evaluated all consecutive patients with SS who underwent nitroglycerine (NTG)-potentiated head-up tilt test (HUTT) at Syncope Unit of the University of Campania 'Luigi Vanvitelli'-Monaldi Hospital from 1 March 2017 to 1 May 2023. All patients were followed for at least one year.

  • * The man's symptoms related to food stagnation and vomiting improved after endoscopic balloon dilation, highlighting that distal esophageal spasm (DES) can be a complication in MSA patients.
