Making certain that noninvasive therapy for vasovagal syncope has failed before proceeding to invasive interventions

EP Europace, vol. 26

Abstract

There is a perceived need to express concisely the advice of guidelines in the context of consideration of invasive management of highly symptomatic vasovagal syncope. In response to this need the table is presented as a checklist and the text adds explanation and details. It is anticipated that this will prove to be of value for clinicians.
