Purpose: The goal of this manuscript was to review the biological and clinical evidence that serotonin neurotransmission might play an important role in the physiology and treatment of vasovagal syncope.
Methods: The authors reviewed PubMed and handsearches of secondary sources for papers related to the Bezold-Jarisch reflex and serotonin, the plausible involvement of the Bezold-Jarisch reflex in vasovagal syncope, and three lines of clinical evidence involving serotonin and the syncope.
Results: The Bezold-Jarisch reflex was first described following the infusion of veratrum alkaloids into animals in the 19th century.
