Abstract

The article analyses the link of syncope and sudden cardiac death risk with primary diagnosis. The data of dependency between syncope and risk of sudden cardiac death and mechanism of syncopal episodes is presented. The criteria of syncope with high sudden cardiac death risk are given. The article also provides an algorithm of syncopal episode diagnosis according to the ESC Guidelines (2009).
