Vagal Cardiovascular Reflexes in Young Persons with Syncope
Ann Int Med 118:943-946, Barron,S.A.,et al, 1993
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Many young persons who faint under conditions of emotional distress do so because a relatively high vagal tone predisposes them to the cardioinhibitory component of the syncope.Age-related physiologic reduction in vagal cardiac responses may explain the lower incidence of this type of syncope with increasing age.
