Micturition syncope, a common cause of fainting, particularly affects men aged 50-60. Many patients experience other types of syncope and show increased vasovagal reactions.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Cardiology
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Micturition syncope represents 8.39% of all syncope cases.
  • It predominantly affects men in their 50s and 60s.
  • The cardiovascular autonomic nervous system remains unaffected in these patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the characteristics and prevalence of micturition syncope.
  • To explore the association between micturition syncope and other syncope types.
  • To analyze the response to autonomic activation tests in micturition syncope patients.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of syncope patient data.
  • Clinical evaluation of cardiovascular autonomic nervous system function.
  • Autonomic activation testing including vasovagal response assessment.

Main Results:

  • Micturition syncope is observed in 8.39% of all syncope cases.
  • Prevalence is highest in men aged 50-60.
  • 61% of micturition syncope patients also experience other forms of syncope.
  • These patients exhibit a higher incidence of vasovagal reactions during autonomic testing compared to those with micturition syncope alone.

Conclusions:

  • Micturition syncope is a significant subtype of syncope, particularly in middle-aged and older men.
  • A substantial proportion of patients with micturition syncope have co-existing syncope types.
  • Increased vasovagal sensitivity is noted in micturition syncope patients with other syncope types, suggesting complex autonomic involvement.
