cardiac syncope

syncope /syn·co·pe/ (-ko-pe) a faint; temporary loss of consciousness due to generalized cerebral ischemia.syn´copalsyncop´ic

cardiac syncope sudden loss of consciousness, with momentary premonitory symptoms or without warning, due to cerebral anemia caused by obstructions to cardiac output or arrhythmias such as ventricular asystole, extreme bradycardia, or ventricular fibrillation.

carotid sinus syncope see under syndrome.

convulsive syncope syncope with convulsive movements that are milder than those seen in epilepsy.

laryngeal syncope tussive syncope

stretching syncope syncope associated with stretching the arms upward with the spine extended.

swallow syncope syncope associated with swallowing, a disorder of atrioventricular conduction mediated by the vagus nerve.

tussive syncope brief loss of consciousness associated with paroxysms of coughing.

vasovagal syncope see under attack.
