Diagnosis of syncope in children involves a comprehensive evaluation that includes:
Medical history: Detailed history of the episodes, including triggers, frequency, and associated symptoms. Physical examination: Thorough examination to rule out underlying conditions. Electrocardiogram (ECG): To detect any cardiac abnormalities. Blood tests: To check for metabolic or electrolyte imbalances. Echocardiogram: If a structural heart problem is suspected. Holter monitor: Continuous ECG monitoring to detect intermittent arrhythmias. Head-up tilt test: To evaluate autonomic function and diagnose vasovagal syncope.
