[Cardiac syncope: 4 case reports].
We describe 4 patients with syncopes due to tachycardias of different etiologies. The causes and prognostic importance of syncopes are discussed together with the therapeutic options, e.g., antiarrhythmic therapy guided by programmed ventricular stimulation, surgery for ventricular tachycardia, implantation of a cardioverter/defibrillator, and radiofrequency ablation of arrhythmias. In particular, the clinical presentation of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome are outlined.
