Abstract:
Vasovagal syncope (VVS) was a neurally-mediated functional disease, a transient disturbance of consciousness triggered by transient cerebral ischemia due to peripheral vasodilation resulting from a variety of incentives, accompanied by the loss of muscle tone and even fainting. Children with VVS are characterized by recurrent syncopal attacks induced by prolonged standing, postural changes and muggy environment, etc. Currently treatments of VVS include non-pharmacological therapy and pharmacological therapy.
