Fainting. The approach based on evidence. Guide for doctors. Ed. Brignole M., Bendytta D.G.

The leadership presents the most modern approaches to the management of patients with syncopal conditions. The complex issues of the differential diagnosis of fainting with neurological and psychogenic causes of attacks of loss of consciousness are considered. The role of individual examination methods, such as visualization of the head and heart, tilt test and other autonomic tests, prolonged outpatient outpatient monitoring, intra-hearth electrophysiological examination, as well as a video record of spontaneous seizures by eyewitnesses of events, is highlighted. At the same time, the book emphasizes that the decisive role is assigned to the simple original examination of the patient with fainting, both in the matters of preliminary diagnosis and risk stratification. Specialists involved in the problem of diagnosis and treatment of heart rhythm disturbances will be interested in chapters devoted to bradyarrhythmias and tachyarrhythmias as causes of syncope, which represent a complete overview of genetic pathology leading to arrhythmias, including quite rare. The whole range of methods of treatment of reflex fainting is shown, including the use of constant electrocoication and cardio -abroad.

The manual is intended for experienced doctors practicing in the field of cardiology, emergency care, therapy, neurology and, possibly, psychiatry, and for beginners specialists, as well as for students of medical universities.
