title: A review of the evaluation and management of syncope in the acute medical unit.
abstract: Syncope is a common acute presentation and frequently results in hospitalisation. Cardiac syncope is potentially life threatening. The diagnosis and management of syncope demands a careful history, witness account wherever possible, and a comprehensive assessment. This, in combination with routine investigations, will provide an answer in a significant percentage of patients.
