Malignant vasovagal reflex syndrome can be induced by pulling of cardiac tissue during percutaneous transcatheter closure of patent foramen ovale. In this case, a patient presented with a malignant vasovagal reflex syndrome characterized by decreased heart rate, cardiac arrest, and ventricular tachycardia. Therefore, it's particularly important to observe patients' heart rate and timely deal with vasovagal reflex syndrome during the operation.

Background: Syncope is a common medical condition. The reflex or neurally mediated syncope (NMS) is the most frequent type. The tilt table test (TTT) helps distinguish syncope from other common causes of complete loss of consciousness, such as epilepsy, define syncope subtypes and guide management.

Background: Cardioneuroablation (CNA) treats reflex syncope by ablating ganglionated plexi (GPs) either confined to the right (RA) or left atrium (LA), or accessible from both. We assessed whether GP ablation in one atrium affects parasympathetic modulation in the other and how ablation sequence (RA then LA, or vice-versa) impacts efficacy.

Methods: Two propensity-matched groups of patients with reflex syncope or functional bradycardia were analyzed.

Background And Objectives: Dizziness is a frequent complaint encountered in neurology clinics. Dizziness can be spontaneous or triggered, which includes orthostatic dizziness. Orthostatic dizziness can be acute (reflex/vasovagal syncope), chronic (orthostatic hypotension (OH), or postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS).

Article Synopsis
  • Understanding the complexities of cardiovascular control through the autonomic system is challenging, as shown by the ongoing debates around conditions like orthostatic intolerance.
  • This study created a mathematical model to simulate the sympathetic control of the cardiovascular system, testing young women with varying responses to a head-up-tilt test and measuring their heart rate and blood pressure.
  • The model successfully predicted blood pressure and flow dynamics, identifying seven key parameters that could serve as biomarkers for patient classification, highlighting the potential of computational methods in studying autonomic system pathologies.
