Israel Journal of Medical Sciences
|January 1, 1977
Abstract:
"Vagal reactions" may follow sudden emotional or physical strain in "vagotonic individuals" and are usually benign. In the case described, emotional stimuli caused life-threatening vagal reactions in a "healthy individual." Implantation of an artifical pacemaker was necessary to control the attacks.
