[Vasodepressor syncopes in metastasizing laryngeal cancer. Combination therapy using an AV sequential pacemaker and ephedrine].
Syncope due to hypersensitivity of carotid sinus developed in a patient with laryngeal carcinoma. After implantation of a ventricular demand pacemaker a marked vasodepressor component became evident leading to further episodes of fainting. Only after implantation of an AV-sequential pacemaker and additional oral medication with ephedrine syncopes could be prevented.
