La syncope réflexe bénigne existe‐t‐elle dans la cardiopathie sévère?
Haran Burri, PDMédecin Adjoint AgrégéService de Cardiologie
M S. 70 yrs• Syncope at rest in 6.2011• AMI in 10.2010‐ DES in LAD‐ LVEF 40%‐ no chest pain since‐ NYHA II
• HTAVagal syncope in young adulthood
• Rx: ASA 100mg/dClopidogrel 75mg/dMetopropol 100mg/dLisinopril 25mg/d
Current history
• Syncope while watching a televisiondocumentary on myocardial infarction
• Syncope preceded by sweating, nausea• No chest pain, palpitations• Lasted about 1 min according to spouse, without post‐critical state
Physical examination
• BP 130/70mmHg sitting and 120/60mmHg standing, pulse 60 bpm regular
• Cardiac auscultation: S1 S2 normal, PMS 2/6 murmur at apex
• Lung auscultation normal• CSM: no pause or hypotension
SR 60 bpm. PR 200ms. QRS 140ms, NIVCD, QT 450ms

Etiology and prognosis
• Cardiac cause:
‐ 6‐month mortality >10%‐ > 2x mortality risk
Is the history in this patient enoughto confirm vaso‐vagal syncope?

46% of elderly patients with heartdisease had neurally‐mediatedsyncope
What is the next test that youwould perform at this stage? Tilt test?
Holter ?
EP study ?
Implantable loop recorder ?
Nothing ?
Tilt‐test
Electrophysiological study
• (Sinus dysfunction)• AV conduction• Inducible tachycardia
CAD patients with syncope: inducibility and survival
Class I indication for an ICD
EPS
• No sinus dysfunction• HV interval normal (<60ms)• No inducible VT (max. 3 ES)

+ EPS if:SNRT>1500 ms; CSNRT>525 msbaseline HV interval ≥70 msHis–Purkinje block during incremental atrial pacing or after intravenous class IC drugs
Phase I:Clinical, ECG, echo, (Holter)
Phase III (ILR)44/108 (41%) pts had a cause treated by a PM/ICD
Patient follow‐up
• ILR implantation in 8.2011
• No recurrence of syncope or abnormalfindings by ILR……yet
Conclusions• Syncope in the presence of structural heart disease
requires intensive evaluation
• History may be less reliable for diagnosing etiology of syncope in elderly patients
• Negative studies do not exclude diagnosis
• >1/3 of patients with BBB and a negative EPS have a diagnosis of bradycardia by an ILR requiring a pacemaker
• Indication of an ICD in patients with low LVEF should beevaluated independantly of presence of syncope
