Syncope, a state performed by transient loss of consciousness connected with postural tone decrease present still an important therapeutical problem. It can vary from a benign physiological body reaction to a life-limiting situation. The authors of the article present HUT-testing to be a simple, useful and safe method for discovering vasovagal mechanism of the syncope. They notice the experiences with treatment according to the HUT results. The most frequent types of therapy are the pharmacological and the pacing ones, when the former is appropriate for I and III class of VVS the latter then for the II. class. There are some big studies in progress now which should bring more information about this clinical problem.

There have been over 80 documented cases of swallow syncope-a rare form of reflex or neurally mediated syncope-with most cases associated with an underlying esophageal disorder. Here, we describe the first reported case of swallow syncope or presyncope caused by an infectious esophagitis. Our 65-year-old patient initially developed dysphagia, odynophagia, and presyncope with swallowing.

According to the European Society of Cardiology guidelines, certain key questions should be addressed during the initial evaluation of a patient presenting syncope. The physician should be alert to important clinical features that suggest the diagnosis and the evaluation strategy.

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the usefulness in providing diagnostic information about syncope by implantation of a loop recorder (ILR).
Methods And Results: The study population consisted of 48 consecutive patients (23 male, 25 female, mean age 42 +/- 17) with unexplained syncope who presented between 1998 and 2002 and underwent extensive cardiological screening and were followed with an implantable loop recorder (Reveal or Reveal Plus). The mean follow-up duration was 9 +/- 6 months.

A 6-year-old boy with congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (Ondine's curse) presented with presyncope. Investigation revealed a diagnosis of neurally mediated syncope. This previously unreported association provides strong evidence that autonomic dysfunction is implicated in both these conditions.
