[Quality of life in patients with vasovagal syncope. Clinical parameters influence].

Background And Objective: The prevalence and morbidity of the vaso-vagal syncope are well-known. With the intention of measuring the Quality of Life (QoL) of patients with vaso-vagal syncope, as well as age and gender influence, we have used the Spanish version of Short form 36 (SF-36) questionnaire in those patients and have compared it with the general population and with patients with heart failure.

Patients And Method: All consecutive patients with vaso-vagal syncope submitted for head-up tilt test performance from January 2001 to December 2002 were included.
