This study investigated syncope types, finding vasovagal syncope more common in women. Other syncope types were more prevalent in men, and poor-prognosis syncopes were frequent in the elderly.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Neurology
  • Geriatrics

Background:

  • Syncope, a transient loss of consciousness, affects a significant patient population.
  • Determining the exact cause of syncope can be challenging in many cases.
  • Understanding demographic variations in syncope types is crucial for diagnosis and management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the incidence of various syncope types.
  • To investigate the relationship between syncope types, sex, and age.
  • To identify demographic patterns in syncope etiology.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of patient data.
  • Classification of syncopal events based on etiology.
  • Statistical analysis of incidence rates across different demographic groups.

Main Results:

  • A significant proportion of syncopal events remained undiagnosed.
  • Vasovagal syncope was the most common diagnosed type, with a higher prevalence in females.
  • Orthostatic hypotension and carotid-sinus syndrome were more common in males.
  • Syncopal events associated with a poor prognosis were predominantly observed in elderly patients.

Conclusions:

  • Syncope etiology shows distinct patterns related to sex and age.
  • Vasovagal syncope is more prevalent in women, while other types affect men more frequently.
  • Elderly individuals are more susceptible to syncopal events with a poor prognosis, highlighting the need for targeted interventions.
