Clinical case of a vasovagal syncope

Syncope is defined as a transient loss of consciousness due to cerebral hypoperfusion, characterized by a rapid onset, short duration, and spontaneous complete recovery of all vital functions without signs of neurological deficits. Syncope is a multidisciplinary medical problem common in clinical practice. As a rule, syncope occurs due to cardiovascular dysfunction of organic or functional origin, which either develops spontaneously or is induced by a trigger. Due to a various etiology differential diagnosis and prognostic evaluation is difficult. This clinical case demonstrates the features of differential diagnosis of vasovagal syncope in a patient with polymorbid pathology and the features of the choice of an adequate management, including recommendations for lifestyle modifications, specialized education regarding prodromal symptoms recognition methods and timely application of countermeasures.
