Abstract: Vasovagal syncope (VVS) is the most common cause of transient loss of consciousness ( TLOC ),mainly with head-up tilt test (HUTT) for diagnosis and treatment evaluation.Beacause of potential risks in the process of HUTT,it is necessary to explore an early,accurate,safe,effective,inexpensive and convenient means of diagnosis and evaluation for VVS.The means of quantitative history are now in practice of clinical trials.The means commonly used are Calgary Presyncope Form (CPF)and three questionaires about point scores in the Calgary syncope symptom studies.Due to its stable,simple and easy to apply features,CPF has some advantages on assessing the effectiveness of different treatment methods for VVS.The three questionnaires have some application potential in diagnosis for VVS.
