The Pathophysiology of Vasovagal Syncope and New Approaches to its Pharmacological Treatment by Dalyia Abu-Ghazaleh MD, David A. Taylor PhD, Louise Roberts PhD, Indu Singh PhD, Vinicius Cruzat PhD, Roselyn B. Rose’Meyer PhD

“…Syncope refers to the transient loss of consciousness and the most common type of syncope is vasovagal syncope (VVS), usually occurring when a person is in an upright position, and/or after exposure to intense stress. The sequelae of VVS is caused by an increase in sympathetic tone and heart rate combined with an underfilled left ventricular chamber that leads to stimulation of cardiac afferent C fibers ultimately leading to bradycardia and vasodilation causing a reduction in venous return, cerebral hypoperfusion and VVS. …”
