  • Key Messages
  • Syncope = TLOC due to cerebral hypoperfusion
    TLOC = transient, unresponsive, unaware, and uncontrolled.
  • Detailed history taking is extremely important in assessment and management of syncope.
  • Try to establish correlation between symptoms and ECG/BP to provide specific treatment.
  • TALK to the patient.
    Education is one of the most effective treatment for syncope.
