Purpose: To investigate the etiologies of syncope in patients hospitalized for syncope. Methods: We investigated the etiologies of syncope in 325 consecutive patients, mean age 66 ± 17 years, hospitalized for syncope. All patients had Doppler echocardiograms and electrocardiographic monitoring by telemetry for arrhythmias during hospitalization. Results: Of the 325 patients, the causes of syncope were vasovagal syncope in 58 patients (18%), volume depletion including acute blood loss and dehydration in 39 patients (12%), orthostatic hypotension in 8 patients (3%), bradyarrhythmias in 28 patients (18 with sick sinus syndrome and 10 with advanced second-degree or third-degree atrioventricular block) (9%), 36 with tachyarrhythmias (20 with ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation, 15 with supraventricular tachyarrhythmias, and 1 with pacemaker-mediated tachycardia) (11%), cardiomyopathy requiring insertion of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator in 7 patients (2%), acute coronary syndromes in 23 patients (7%), aortic stenosis in 8 patients (3%), hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy in 4 patients (1%), hypersensitive carotid sinus in 7 patients (2%), cerebral hemorrhage, ischemic stroke, or brain tumor documented by computed tomographic brain scans in 5 patients (2%), anaphylaxis in 2 patients (1%), sedative overdose in 5 patients (2%), hypoglycemia in 3 patients (1%), pulmonary embolism documented by contrast-enhanced spiral computed tomographic scans in 2 patients (1%), primary pulmonary hypertension in 2 patients (1%), micturition syncope in 2 patients (1%), heat stroke in 1 patient (<1%), cardiac tamponade in 1 patient (<1%), and undetermined etiology in 84 patients (26%). Conclusions: Of 325 consecutive patients hospitalized for syncope, the cause of syncope was diagnosed in 241 patients (74%).
