Overview

Neurocardiogenic syncope is usually a self-limited episode of systemic hypotension characterized by both bradycardia (asystole or relative bradycardia) and peripheral vasodilation.[1][2]

Dual chamber pacing (DDD) is indicated only in patients with refractory neurocardiogenic syncope with significant bradycardia or asystole. In addition to cardiac pacing, adjunctive medical therapy may also be required as cardiac pacing alone has shown to be ineffective.

Indications

  • Refractory neurocardiogenic syncope with significant bradycardia or asystole.[3][4][5] Among patients with significant bradycardia, despite the successful demonstration of permanent pacers to increase time to first syncopal episode and to reduce recurrent episodes by the VASIS study [3] and the VPS study [5] respectively, the recent VPS-II study, did not demonstrate any reduction in the risk of recurrent syncopal events.[6] Therefore, the use of cardiac pacing in such patient population still remains controversial.
  • If cardiac pacing is indicated, dual chamber pacing is preferred following the demonstration of a strong positive tilt table test. Adjunctive medical therapy should be continued as it has shown to be more effective than pacing alone.

ACC/AHA Guidelines- Permanent Pacing in Hypersensitive Carotid Sinus Syndrome and Neurocardiogenic Syncope (DO NOT EDIT)[7]

Class I
"1. Permanent pacing is indicated for recurrent syncope caused by spontaneously occurring carotid sinus stimulation and carotid sinus pressure that induces ventricular asystole of more than 3 seconds. (Level of Evidence: C) "
Class IIa
"1. Permanent pacing is reasonable for syncope without clear, provocative events and with a hypersensitive cardioinhibitory response of 3 seconds or longer. (Level of Evidence: C) "
Class IIb
"1. Permanent pacing is reasonable for syncope without clear, provocative events and with a hypersensitive cardioinhibitory response of 3 seconds or longer. (Level of Evidence: B) "
Class III (No Benefit)
" 1. Permanent pacing is not indicated for a hypersensitive cardioinhibitory response to carotid sinus stimulation without symptoms or with vague symptoms. (Level of Evidence: C) "
" 2. Permanent pacing is not indicated for situational vasovagal syncope in which avoidance behavior is effective and preferred. (Level of Evidence: C) "
