Etiology of Patients with Complain of Loss of Consciousness who Applied to Cardiology Department of Uludag University Hospital

Abstract

In this study, we aimed to analyze the causes of the transient loss of consciousness and etiology of syncope among the patients who applied to Uludag University Hospital Cardiology Department with the complaint of faintness. We examined data charts of 167 patients with the complaint of syncope referred to Cardiology Depatment of Uludag University Hospital in between 01.01.2010- 30.05.2011 retrospectively. 113 of the 167 patients had a syncope. 53,4 % of cases diagnosed with syncope were female. In this study 73 patients were aged 50 and older. In patients diagnosed syncope, the most common causes of syncope were revealed to reflex syncope with 43,4 % ratio and second most common were cardiac syncope with 39,8 % ratio. The most common cause of syncope was cardiac in men with 50 % and women with 47,5 % was reflex syncope. While reflex syncope was the most common in younger than 50 years, in older than 50 years patients was the cardiac syncope. At all age groups, vasovagal syncope was evaluated the most common subgroup of reflex syncope. Syncope in the popula-tion is common however the cardiac reasons underlying the high mortality should be evaluated in detail and the etiology should be ascer-tained.
