Syncope is a symptom in which transient loss of consciousness occurs as a consequence of a self-limited, spontaneously-terminating, period of cerebral hypoperfusion. Many circulatory disturbances (e.g. brady- or tachyarrhythmias, reflex cardioinhibition-vasodepression-hypotension) may trigger a syncope or near-syncope episode, and identifying the cause(s) is often challenging. Some syncope may involve multiple etiologies operating in concert, whereas in other cases multiple syncope events may be due to various differing causes at different times. In this communication we address current understanding of the principal contributors to syncope pathophysiology including examination of the manner in which concepts evolved, and an overview of factors that constitute consciousness and loss of consciousness, and aspects of neural-vascular control and communication that are impacted by cerebral hypo perfusion leading to syncope . Emphasis focuses on: 1) current understanding of the way transient systemic hypotension impacts brain blood flow and brain function, 2) the complexity and temporal sequence of vascular, humoral and cardiac factors that may accompany the most common causes of syncope, 3) the range of circumstances and disease states that may lead to syncope, and 4) clinical features associated with syncope and in particular the reflex syncope syndromes.
