[Symptomatic vagotonia in young patients. Clinical data and therapeutic approach].
Syncope or near-syncope can be the manifestation of a benign problem or a symptom of a life-threatening disease. Vasovagal syncope accounting for almost 70 per cent of cases. We identified 5 young patients who were presented to us with syncope or near-syncope. Diagnostic test, such as electrocardiogram, Holter monitoring and electrophysiological study identified only markers of hypervagotonia. We treated them with oral propantheline. By the time of follow up (20 months) none had recurrent episodes of syncope. Propantheline can be useful in patients with symptomatic vagotonia.
