title: [Syncope: how to deal with it?].
abstract: Syncope is a frequent symptom, with an expensive protocol of difficult evaluation in face of its diverse causes. The authors describe the proper use of the tests available, particularly the tilt test, and conclude that nowadays only few syncopal episodes would remain unexplained.
