The results of this study demonstrate that a diagnosis of vasodepressor syncope can be established clinically in approximately 20%of patients referred to a university hospital for evaluation of syncope of undetermined origin.Failure to recognize the clinical features of vasodepressor syncope in these patients resulted in up to$16,000 of unnecessary diagnostic testing.A greater awareness of the clinical features of vasodepressor syncope may,therefore,result in significant economic savings. |
