Lifetime Cumulative Incidence of Syncope in the General Population: A Study of 549 Dutch Subjects Aged 35–60 Years

Abstract: In conclusion, our study shows that the lifetime cumulative incidence of syncope in the general population is high. Females experience syncope more often than males. The majority of the syncope triggers were related to conditions that affect orthostatic blood pressure regulation and vasomotor responses.

“…Syncope occurred in 822 patients during a follow-up of 17 years (6.2 per 1,000 person-years). This low incidence is in sharp contrast with later studies reporting a life-time cumulative incidence of 35% [10], which can be explained by the fact that in the Framingham study, only subjects who experienced syncope during the study were asked if they had also experienced syncope at a younger age.…”

“…E assim como neste relato, os cães Boxers apresentavam episódios de taquicardia ventricular mas que não estavam associados aos episódios de síncope (THOMASON et al, 2008). A maior causa de síncope em humanos é a sínco-pe neurocardiogênica e ocorre em cerca de 37% das pessoas ao longo da vida (GANZEBOOM et al, 2006). Este tipo de síncope refere-se a um grupo de condições em que os reflexos cardiovasculares se tornam inadequados para o controle circulatório de forma intermitente, em resposta a um estímu-lo, resultando em vasodilatação ou bradicardia e, assim, em uma queda na PA sistêmica e perfusão cerebral (DAVIDOW; PROW; WOODFIELD, 2001).…”

“…A síncope neurocardiogênica, também conhecida como síncope vasovagal, reflexa, neuromediada, vasodepressora ou reflexo de Bezold-Jarisch, desencadeia-se por alguns estímulos, os quais causam bradicardia, diminuição do tônus vascular, ou ambos (GANZEBOOM et al, 2006;AZEVE-DO;BARBISAN;SILVA, 2009). Na medicina, é relatado que, em pessoas predispostas, alguns estímulos como a dor, a ansiedade e o estresse podem provocar uma resposta exagerada do sistema nervoso autônomo, que conduz a uma estimulação vagal e inibição do sistema simpático, desencadeando bradicardia e relativa perda da vasoconstrição periférica, resultando em hipotensão.…”
