-Young adults and children are at the highest risk for experiencing Neurocardiogenic syncope but, they commonly grow out of this condition as they reach adulthood. It also tends to occur in persons who have a [[family history]] of fainting spells. It is thought to affect persons who have a genetic predisposition towards poor resistance in the blood vessels of the lower extremities, causing blood to pool away from the brain in response to certain situations.
