title: Blood pressure drop and symptoms during ATP-test under pacing.
abstract: We studied systolic blood pressure (SBP) behavior and symptoms during ATP-test in temporary paced patients. SBP drop during ATP-test is only partially prevented by pacing. During DDD paced ATP-test, SBP minimum was lower in symptomatic patients. Considering the role of endogenous adenosine in neurally-mediated syncope (NMS), our results are concurrent with a SBP fall resulting in NMS recurrence under permanent pacing.
