Honoured to share my latest Clinical Practice review, "Syncope," published today in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Syncope is a common clinical problem caused by transient cerebral hypoperfusion and encompasses reflex, orthostatic, and cardiac mechanisms. Accurate diagnosis relies on careful history taking and physical examination, as well as targeted test ing guided by risk stratification. Management of syncope is determined on the basis of the underlying mechanism and focuses on reducing recurrence and injury risk. In older patients, syncope may manifest as unexplained falls. Early identifica tion of high-risk features is critical to prevent adverse cardiovascular outcomes.
I'm grateful to the @NEJM for the opportunity to contribute to this important area of clinical practice.
A new Clinical Practice article summarizes the classification, evaluation, risk stratification, and management of syncope. History, examination, electrocardiography, and orthostatic blood-pressure measurement identify the cause in most patients.
Read “Syncope” by Rose Anne Kenny, MD, DSc: nej.md/4cjFuVU
Ask AI Companion to provide a summary of this article for your patient. In Spanish.
ALT A flowchart from the Clinical Practice article "Syncope" by Rose Anne Kenny, M.D., D.Sc., that shows the general principles for initial evaluation of all patients after an episode of syncope. The chart includes steps such as suspected syncope, evaluation, history taking, and an ECG. It categorizes causes of syncope as certain or uncertain, leading to risk assessment and further evaluation or treatment.
Now sent @OrroBikes 3 emails about getting a part for my Orro Gold STC but had no response. Do folk know if they are still trading?

Happy to share our thoughts on the role of renal denervation in resistant hypertension inspired by this nice JAMA review article.

Interesting study on immediate OH and falls. Like our STURDY paper on timing, sustained seems more problematic, but in ARIC the early measures were especially associated with falls.
