Meanings of cardiac syncope in English

The diagnostic evaluation and the treatment of cardiac syncope are similar in older and young patients and for this reason will not be discussed.

Patients who were later found to have cardiac syncope (and were not initially diagnosed in our clinic) were counted as "missed" cases.

Background: In the outpatient setting, differentiation of cardiac syncope (CS) from other more common forms of syncope is difficult, particularly in the elderly.

Cardiac syncope was less frequent because patients were selected mainly from an outpatient population, not the emergency department.

Cardiac syncope was initially diagnosed in only 3.1%.
