Summary: Syncope is defined as transient loss of consciousness associated with inability to maintain postural tone with rapid and spontaneous recovery. The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of sublingual administration of a new medication called CPC on tilt-induced syncope in patients with a history of vasovagal syncope (VVS). 132 participants will be enrolled at the University of Wisconsin - ...

Summary: This study is a prospective, randomized clinical trial that will be conducted in adolescents (10 through 14 years of age) receiving at least one recommended intramuscularly administered vaccine to evaluate the efficacy and acceptability of using two different, simultaneously administered interventions that might prevent post-vaccination presyncope, and by extension syncope. The two interventions t...

Summary: Syncope is a common condition which can disturb daily functions of the patients and impair their quality of lives. It contributes to 0.8 to 2.4% of the visits of emergency rooms. Noticeably, studies demonstrated that the lifetime prevalence of syncope is as high as 41% with a 13.5% recurrence rate.The cornerstone of the treatment of vasovagal syncope (VVS), the most common type of syncope, is life...

Summary: The investigators will seek to determine the effects of different heart rates on both stroke volume and cardiac output using non-invasive hemodynamic assessments. In order to safely manipulate the HR, the investigators will study patients with permanent pacemakers in whom heart rate manipulation can be done in a safe and non-invasive manner.

Summary: Vasovagal syncope is an entity frequently in the emergency services, its treatment includes pharmacological and non-pharmacological measures, and in some severe cases, requires the implantation of cardiac stimulation devices, specifically, those pacemakers that have closed-loop sensors (CLS).This research is an intervention study, multi-institutional, randomized and double blind that will be carri...

Summary: This is a multi-centre, registry-based study whose primary objective is to evaluate the effect of treatment for sleep apnoea syndrome (SAS) on the number of syncope/malaise episodes in a population suffering from both idiopathic, recurrent vasovagal syncope/malaises and SAS.

Summary: Vasovagal syncope (VVS, simple faint) is the most common cause of transient loss of consciousness and represents the acute episodic form of orthostatic intolerance (OI). Postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is the common chronic form of OI. Both are defined by debilitating symptoms and signs while upright relieved by recumbency. Northera should therefore improve both sympathetic splanchnic arteria...
