Abstract
Eighty percent of unexplained syncope children can be diagnosed of vasovagal syncope (VVS). Positive head-up tilt test (HUTT) leads to the diagnosis of VVS. However,organical diseases which can cause syncope should be excluded before HUTT was taken. The therapies of VVS include nonpharmacological therapy (health education, head-up training, water and salt supplement), pharmacological therapy (β-blockers, α-receptor agonists, fludrocortisone, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, angiotension converting enzyme inhibitors, et al.) and pace maker.
