[The genetic aspects of neurogenic syncopes].

Zh Nevrol Psikhiatr Im S S Korsakova

Published: May 1994

The authors specified the prevalence of syncopal states in the representative sample of 2309 schoolchildren from the city of Kazan, as well as hereditary factors in the genesis of neurogenic syncopes basing on the clinico-genealogical analysis of 115 families. 91.4% of the syncopal conditions were considered to be neurogenic syncopes (populational frequency is 6.41%) and family disease close by relevant characteristics to multifactorial illnesses with rather high (73.5%) proportion of the genetic factors. When the parents remarried by type patient-to-patient, the segregation rate (0.43) of neurogenic syncopes is close to the expected (0.50) though this does not rule out a dominant model of monogenic affection.

When undergoing or about to undergo a needle-related procedure, most people are not aware of the adverse emotional and physical reactions (so-called vasovagal reactions; VVR), that might occur. Thus, rather than relying on self-report measurements, we investigate whether we can predict VVR levels from the video sequence containing facial information measured during the blood donation. We filmed 287 blood donors throughout the blood donation procedure where we obtained 1945 videos for data analysis.

Differential diagnostic value of P wave dispersion and QT interval dispersion between psychogenic pseudosyncope and vasovagal syncope in children and adolescents.

Background: Both psychogenic pseudosyncope (PPS) and vasovagal syncope (VVS) in children and adolescents are diseases of transient loss of consciousness. It is difficult to distinguish them clinically. This paper will study the differential diagnostic value of P wave dispersion (Pd) and QT interval dispersion (QTd) between PPS and VVS.

Case Report: Painful left bundle branch block syndrome complicated with vasovagal syncope.

Department of Cardiology, Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital, School of Clinical Medicine, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China.

Background: Painful left bundle branch block (LBBB) syndrome is an uncommon disease that is defined as intermittent episodes of angina associated with simultaneous LBBB changes on an electrocardiogram (ECG) with the absence of flow-limiting coronary artery disease or ischemia on functional testing. Vasovagal syncope (VVS) is the most common cause of syncope and can be provoked by sublingual nitroglycerin (NTG). Herein, we report a case of painful LBBB syndrome complicated with VVS, which was misdiagnosed as acute coronary syndrome and cardiogenic shock.

Vasovagal syncope (VVS) in donors is a transient loss of consciousness due to short-term global cerebral hypoperfusion, which has a rapid onset and has complete spontaneous recovery. VVS may be triggered by pain, fear, anxiety, or emotional upset and loss of blood perse. It is an exaggeration of an adaptive response meant to assist in reducing the amount of bleeding/loss of blood.
