Abstract

Current syncope treatment by cardiac pacing is limited to patients developing cardiodepressive reaction. There is strong need to apply this method to other types of reaction. Presented method shows, that impedance method can be applied for early detection of vasodepressive syncope. Thus the method can be applied for antivasovagal pacing in syncopic patients.
