Syncope is a temporary loss of conciousness related to temporary global hypoperfusion which is characterized with short duration and complete remission. It is a symptom not a disease. Presyncope term is used for sings and symptoms which are seen just before syncope. Lower than 70 mmHg systolic and 40 mmHg diastolic blood pressure results in syncope. Syncope is seen 6% of clinical and 3% of emergency applications. Mortality in cardiac syncope is 18-33% and it is more fatal than non-cardiac causes. In this review syncope was reviewed from the cardiovascular aspect
ÖzetSenkop hızlı başlangıç, kısa süre ve spontan tam iyileşme ile karakterize, geçici global serebral hipoperfüzyona bağlı bir geçici bilinç kaybıdır. Hastalık değil, semptomdur. Presenkop deyimi, senkopta bilinçsizlikten önce görülen semptomlar ve belirtiler için kullanılır. Sistolik kan basıncının 70 mmHg, ortalama arteryel basıncın 40 mmHg'nın altına düşmesi senkop ile sonuçlanır. Hastaneye başvuru nedenlerinin %6'sını, acil servise başvuru nedenlerinin %3'ünü oluşturur. Kardiyak kökenli senkopta mortalite %18-33 olup nonkardiyak nedenlere göre daha ölümcül seyreder. Bu derlemede senkop kardiyovasküler açıdan özetlenmiştir.Anahtar kelimeler: Senkop, etyoloji, tedaviAbstractSyncope is a temporary loss of conciousness related to temporary global hypoperfusion which is characterized with short duration and complete remission.
