title: Association of Oesophageal Hypertension with Bradycardia Mediated Deglutition Syncope.
abstract: Swallow syncope is a rare form of situational syncope. We report a case of swallow syncope with invasive confirmation of esophageal hypertension (spasm) and invasive confirmation of a bradycardia mechanism. Awareness of this uncommon disorder is important as a treatable cause of syncope.
