Recurrence of neurocardiogenic syncope without pharmacologic interventions.
In 54 patients with positive tilt and who refused medical therapy, we observed a significant decrease in the frequency of syncopal spells after diagnosis and counseling. However, symptoms were reported at follow-up by 64.8% of the patients and were predicted by the frequency and total number of syncope episodes before upright tilt.
