Syncope: Mechanisms and Management is the principle text and sole source devoted to pathophysiological, clinical diagnostic and therapeutic information in this field. The second edition has been completely updated and remains the most comprehensive and useable reference ever published on this common clinical entity. It is a вЂmust-have’ purchase providing up-to-date coverage of virtually every known cause of syncope, integrating knowledge of pathophysiology with practical guidelines for diagnosis and management. This book includes new chapters and new data from the ISSUE trial, as well as results of the multi-center trials using device therapy in patients with syncope and organic heart disease. It also contains updated information about the mechanism of neurocardiogenic syncope, carotid-sinus hypersensitivity, syncope in childhood and adolescence, chronic fatigue and orthostatic hypotensive disorders. Syncope: Mechanisms and Management is thoughtfully structured to make this large quantity of diverse information easy to digest вЂ" each section is designed to stand alone while also being part of a coherent whole, forming a solid foundation for further development in this rapidly expanding and increasingly complex field.
