Abstract

Vasovagal syncope is the most common cause for loss of consciousness. The need for treatment of this condition is warranted by impaired quality of life and a risk of trauma due to the fall. At present, there are no medications with proven preventive effectiveness for vasovagal syncope as demonstrated by large randomized, placebo-controlled studies.  At the same time, information about the pathogenesis of vasovagal reaction and provoking factors allows effective use of non-drug methods (such as patient education, physical exercise, maneuvers) in the management of patients with vasovagal syncope.
