What Are the Three Types of Vasovagal Syncope?
Tilt tests are used to evaluate syncope, which is the medical term for losing consciousness or passing out. There are three main types of syncope observed during tilt tests: cardioinhibitory, where the heart rate drops significantly; vasodepressor, where blood pressure decreases dramatically; and mixed, which combines both heart rate and blood pressure drops. All these fall under the category of vasovagal syncope. Interestingly, recent research has identified a neurogenic component, suggesting that the brain may trigger a fainting episode before blood pressure or heart rate reaches critical thresholds.
