Syncope due to heart block

Syncope due to heart block is a form of cardiogenic syncope characterized by transient loss of consciousness and postural tone secondary to abrupt cerebral hypoperfusion

Syncope due to heart block is a form of cardiogenic syncope characterized by transient loss of consciousness and postural tone secondary to abrupt cerebral hypoperfusion This condition directly involves the cardiovascular and central nervous systems, most commonly manifesting in older adults or individuals with underlying structural heart disease, conduction system degeneration, or medication-induced bradyarrhythmias Clinically, these episodes—historically described as Adams-Stokes attacks—often...

This condition directly involves the cardiovascular and central nervous systems, most commonly manifesting in older adults or individuals with underlying structural heart disease, conduction system degeneration, or medication-induced bradyarrhythmias Clinically, these episodes—historically described as Adams-Stokes attacks—often present abruptly with little to no prodrome, marked bradycardia or prolonged ventricular asystole, pallor, and a rapid spontaneous recovery upon the restoration of cardi...

It is pathophysiologically defined by an impairment or failure in electrical impulse transmission between the cardiac atria and ventricles, typically high-grade second-degree or third-degree atrioventricular block Clinically, these episodes—historically described as Adams-Stokes attacks—often present abruptly with little to no prodrome, marked bradycardia or prolonged ventricular asystole, pallor, and a rapid spontaneous recovery upon the restoration of cardiac output
