Syncope Top 10

Syncope is a relatively common occurrence in the general population and can represent a benign vaso-vagal response or a life-threatening cardiac arrhythmia or other severe cardiac condition. Because of the broad differential diagnosis, the evaluation and management of the patient can be time-consuming and complex.

In this course, you will learn:

• To enumerate an effective differential diagnosis of syncope and its underlying causes.
• To define an appropriate assessment for the patient presenting with syncope.
• To list high-risk findings associated with syncope that suggest a cardiac cause.
