Overview
Peripheral vascular resistance and cardiac output are the two main determinants for the presentation of syncope. autonomic nervous system impairment due to drugs or an autonomic failure, can lead to a decrease in peripheral vascular resistance. Reflex activity impairment may also cause a decrease of peripheral vascular resistance, as the body normal compensation reflexes fail. Decrease in cardiac output may be due to venous pooling, cardioinhibitory reflexes, arrhythmia, hypertension, pulmonary embolism, and volume depletion leading to diminished venous return, among others.

Life threatening Causes
Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.
- Hemorrhage
- Hypotension
- Hypoxia
- Pulmonary embolism was found in 17% of patients admitted to the hospital for syncope may have pulmonary embolism according to a study of Italian hospitals.[1] This suggests these patients should be routinely assessed with the Wells score and d-dimer test with imaging if the Wells score was more than 4 or the d-dimer test was abnormal.
- Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm
- Ventricular arrhythmia[2]
