title: Randomized comparison of atenolol and fludrocortisone acetate in the treatment of pediatric neurally mediated syncope.
abstract: Overall, these results indicate that oral treatment of neurally mediated syncope is safe and efficacious. Further randomized trials in children will be required to determine the significance of a placebo effect, as well as potential differences in results related to the mechanism of syncope.
