Synopsis

Based on the European Society of Cardiology's Guidelines on the Management (Diagnosis and Treatment) of Syncope, this volume was created to provide specific recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of syncope. The reader will find in this handbook clinical consideration of the most important clinical aspects related to the evaluation and treatment of patients with this condition. Information on diagnostic criteria and approaches, risk stratification, hospitalisation, and preventing syncope recurrence is presented here in a succinct form by members of the ESC Management of Syncope Task Force. The volume is directed towards practising physicians who encounter patients with syncope, and will be of particular value to practitioners in emergency medicine, primary care, internal medicine, neurology, paediatrics and cardiology.
