| |
| | |
| ==Do's==
| |
| * Consider a [[tilt test]]:
| |
| ** To differentiate between reflex [[syncope]] and [[orthostatic hypotension]] ([[ESC#Classes of Recommendations|Class IIa; Level of Evidence: C]])
| |
| ** If syncope is due to a [[psychiatric disease]] ([[ESC#Classes of Recommendations|Class IIb; Level of Evidence: C]])
| |
| ** To differenciate [[syncope]] with jerking movements from [[epilepsy]] ([[ESC#Classes of Recommendations|Class IIb; Level of Evidence: C]])
| |
| ** If [[syncope]] happened after standing up from a seated position due to possible [[orthostatic hypotension]]([[ESC#Classes of Recommendations|Class IIb; Level of Evidence: C]])
| |
| * Consider implantable loop recorder before [[cardiac pacing]] in patients with suspected or confirmed reflex [[syncope]] presenting with frequent or traumatic syncopal episodes.
| |
| * Perform exercise testing in patients who experience syncope during or after exertion ([[ESC#Classes of Recommendations|Class I; Level of Evidence: C]]).
| |
| | |
| ==Don'ts==
| |
| * Don't perform [[carotid sinus massage]] in patients with previous [[TIA]] or [[stroke]] within the past 3 months and in patients with [[carotid sinus]] bruits unless [[carotid sinus]] [[doppler]] studies excluded significant stenosis ([[ESC#Classes of Recommendations|Class III; Level of Evidence: C]]).
| |
| * Don't perform [[tilt test|tilt testing]] for the assessment of response to treatment. ([[ESC#Classes of Recommendations|Class III; Level of Evidence: B]]).
| |
| * Don't perform [[tilt test|isoproterenol tilt test]] in patients with [[ischemic heart disease]] ([[ESC#Classes of Recommendations|Class III; Level of Evidence: C]]).
| |
| * Don't use [[adenosine]] [[stress test]] as a diagnostic test to select patients for [[cardiac pacing]] due to the lack of correlation with spontaneous [[syncope]] ([[ESC#Classes of Recommendations|Class III; Level of Evidence: B]]).
| |
| * Don't perform [[electrophysiologic study]] if there is already indication for [[implantable cardioverter defibrillator]] in patients with [[ischemic heart disease]] with suspected [[arrhythmia|arrhythmic]] cause.
| |
| * Don't perform [[electrophysiologic study]] in patients with normal [[ECG]], no [[heart disease]] and no [[palpitations]] unless non-syncopal [[LOC]] is suspected ([[ESC#Classes of Recommendations|Class III; Level of Evidence: B]]).
| |
| * Don't give [[beta blockers]] for patients with reflex syncope ([[ESC#Classes of Recommendations|Class III; Level of Evidence: A]]).
