syncope

How is Syncope Treated?

Treatment depends on the underlying cause of syncope:
Neurally mediated syncope: Education on avoiding triggers, adequate hydration, and physical counterpressure maneuvers (e.g., leg crossing, muscle tensing) can help prevent episodes.
Cardiac syncope: Requires specific treatment for the underlying heart condition, which may include medication, lifestyle changes, or surgical interventions.
Non-cardiac syncope: Treatment is directed at the underlying condition, such as adjusting medications or managing metabolic disorders.
