Syncope

 
 
 
 
 

Non syncope loss of consciousness

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Known etiology
Cardiovascular
Orthostatic hypotension
Reflex

 
 
 
 

Unknown etiology
Determine if there are any high risk criteria:

 
 
 

Consider additional tests

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

High risk

 
 
 

low risk

 
 
 

Consider alternative diagnoses

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

❑ Immediate in-hospital monitoring (in bed or telemetry) to look for abnormalities suggestive of arrhythmic syncope (Class I; Level of Evidence: B).

 

Recurrent syncopes

 

Single syncope

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

If suspicion of structural hear disease:
Order an echocardiography (Class I; Level of Evidence: B)

 

Was it in high risk setting?
Potential risk of physical injury
Occupational implications

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Structural heart disease present
Treat accordingly

 

No structural heart disease

 

Yes

 

No: No further evaluation

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Tilt testing
