This study assesses the haemodynamic mechanism of autonomic syncope using a two-step protocol involving 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and short CV autonomic function assessment. The 2STEPS protocol allows identification of the haemodynamic mechanism of syncope in most patients with suspected autonomic syncope, facilitating a personalized approach to treatment. In 333 patients, the hypotensive phenotype was identified in 67.9%, the bradycardic phenotype in 6.3%, and the mixed phenotype in 15.3%. The diagnosis remained undetermined in 10.5% of cases.
The 2STEPS protocol allows for better identification and treatment of autonomic syncope.
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and autonomic function assessment are key components of the diagnostic process.
Different phenotypes of syncope (hypotensive, bradycardic, mixed) were identified in a significant portion of patients.
Diagnosing the underlying cause of syncope can be complex.
A significant percentage of syncope cases remain undetermined after initial assessment.
