How to treat cardiogenic syncope

The treatment of cardiogenic syncope should first identify the cause of cardiogenic syncope. If the syncope is caused by excessive bradycardia, such as pathological sinus node syndrome, atrioventricular block above a high degree, atrial fibrillation with significant long intervals, severe sinus bradycardia, etc., you can take appropriate drugs to elevate the heart rate, such as cardiopulmonary pills and atropine to increase the ventricular rate, and frequent episodes of symptoms, it is recommended to perform pacemaker implantation. If cardiogenic syncope is caused by malignant arrhythmia, ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation, radiofrequency ablation is recommended to cure ventricular tachycardia if it is short-onset ventricular tachycardia. An ICD can also be implanted to prevent syncope by giving electric shock resuscitation when ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation occurs. If the syncope is caused by rapid atrial fibrillation or paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, it is recommended to apply the antiarrhythmic drug amiodarone or to perform radiofrequency ablation to eradicate the arrhythmia.
