All aspects of VVS are covered, including epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, prognosis, therapy and implications for particular activities such as work, driving and physical activity. The context for the book is that about half of the population suffer from this type of loss of consciousness during their lifetime and then often call for general practitioner and/or emergency room assistance. While many pathophysiological aspects of VVS have been clarified, others remain elusive. The diagnosis of VVS may be easy, but it is sometimes challenging. From the therapeutic standpoint, few evidence-based therapies have been established and the large majority of treatments remain unsatisfactory. Vasovagal Syncope presents the latest evidence on all these issues and will be of value for internists, cardiologists, neurologists, emergency physicians and general practitioners. 000724948 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000724948 650_0 $$aSyncope (Pathology) 000724948 7001_ $$aAlboni, Paolo,$$eeditor. 000724948 7001_ $$aFurlan, Raffaello,$$eeditor. 000724948 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tVasovagal syncope.$$dCham, Switzerland : Springer, c2015$$z9783319091013$$w(DLC) 2014956024 000724948 852__ $$bebk 000724948 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-09102-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000724948 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:724948$$pGLOBAL_SET 000724948 980__ $$aEBOOK 000724948 980__ $$aBIB 000724948 982__ $$aEbook 000724948 983__ $$aOnline 000724948 994__ $$a92$$bISE
