[Neural syncope--a current therapeutic problem].
Syncope, a state performed by transient loss of consciousness connected with postural tone decrease present still an important therapeutical problem. It can vary from a benign physiological body reaction to a life-limiting situation. The authors of the article present HUT-testing to be a simple, useful and safe method for discovering vasovagal mechanism of the syncope. They notice the experiences with treatment according to the HUT results. The most frequent types of therapy are the pharmacological and the pacing ones, when the former is appropriate for I and III class of VVS the latter then for the II. class. There are some big studies in progress now which should bring more information about this clinical problem.
