Overview
Patients with syncope are at risk of the development of complications, such as trauma from frequent falls and Sudden cardiac death. The prognosis of syncope depends on underlying causes. Syncope caused by cardiovascular diseases may be life-threatening and is an important cause of sudden cardiac death. Prognosis of vasovagal syncope is favorable.
Natural history, Complications and Prognosis
Natural History
If the underlying cause of syncope is left untreated and syncope occurs frequently, patients with syncope may suffer from trauma of the head and neck and sudden cardiac death due to fatal cardiac arrhythmia.
Complications
Patients with syncope are at risk of the development of the following complications:[17]
- Frequent falls resulting in injuries to head and neck
- Development of cardiovascular disorders
- Sudden cardiac death
- Death
Prognosis
The prognosis of syncope depends on underlying causes.[18][19]
- Syncope caused by cardiovascular diseases may be life-threatening and is an important cause of sudden cardiac death.
- Prognosis of vasovagal syncope is favorable.
