    Assessment of the patient with syncope
    InnovAiT Education and inspiration for general practice (2022)
    Harjeevan Gill
    Syncope is a transient loss of consciousness due to cerebral hypoperfusion, characterised by rapid onset, short duration and spontaneous complete recovery. The causes range from self-limiting episodes of reflex syncope to conditions that can precede severe illness or death. GPs often provide the first assessment of patients with syncope and this article aims to guide the assessment of these patients to help identify the cause. This will include exploring the common causes of syncope, history taking, examination, investigations, red flags in syncope and management.

    17 Evidence for Combined Falls and Syncope Assessment in Older Patients
    Age and Ageing (2019)
    Rose Anne Kenny
    Abstract Syncope is a transient loss of consciousness due to cerebral hypoperfusion (reduced blood flow through the brain). Thirty percent of older persons who have syncope are unaware of loss of consciousness and the majority of events are not witnessed. In these cases, the patient presents with non-accidental/unexplained falls (Parry SW et al., 2005). Many of these events are not recognised. Given that most causes of syncope can be treated and further events prevented, the new ESC guidelines for syncope recommends inclusion of falls in syncope risk stratification (Brignole M et al., 2018) in older patients. These new risk stratification recommendations will be reviewed coupled with new prevalence and comorbidity information for falls in community samples and the long term consequences of hypotensive syndromes on cerebral function.
