Syncope is a common and concerning medical problem, which accounts for 3% of emergency room visits and up to 6% of hospital admissions. Although the cause of syncope can be life-threatening (e.g., ventricular tachycardia) and the result can be devastating (e.g., fractured hip), a definitive explanation for syncope is found less than one half of the time. Syncope recurrence is approximately 20% per year compared with an incidence of 2% for an initial episode of syncope. |

暈厥是一種令人擔憂的常見病,占急診病例的3%,住院病例中可達6%。雖然暈厥的病因可能危及生命(如室性心動過速),并會產(chǎn)生嚴重后果(如髖部骨折),但說得清楚的暈厥卻不到一半。暈厥的復發(fā)率大約為20%年,初發(fā)率則為2%。 |
1. Approach. |
|
1、診斷思路 |
Syncope is a brief loss of consciousness with collapse resulting from transient brain dysfunction based on decreased blood flow or neurologic insult. Syncope can be categorized based on the causative mechanism (See Table below). The most common causes are vasovagal (18%), arrhythmia (14%), neurologic (10%), orthostatic hypotension (8%), and situational (5%). |

暈厥是暫時性意識喪失并跌倒,它是因為血流減少或神經(jīng)損傷而造成一過性大腦功能失調而引起的。根據(jù)誘發(fā)機制,暈厥可以分為幾類。從誘因看,最常見的有血管迷走神經(jīng)性(占18%)、心率不齊性(14%)、神經(jīng)性(10%)、直立性低血壓性(8%)和環(huán)境因素引起的暈厥(5%)。 |

2. History |
|
2、病史檢查 |
What are the symptoms or circumstances related to the syncope?
-
Dizziness preceding syncope is highly associated with a psychological cause (24%) versus syncope without preceding dizziness (5%). Dizziness with syncope can also be associated with arrhythmia.
-
Important history includes palpitation, duration of prodrome and recovery, and presence of postural or exertional symptoms.
-
Related environmental factors include heat, dehydration, and alcohol. |
|
暈厥相關癥狀或情況
-
與無頭暈性暈厥相比,頭暈后暈厥與精神性誘因關聯(lián)很大,前者占5%,后者則占24%。頭暈伴暈厥也與心律不齊有關。
-
重要病史包括: 心悸、前驅癥狀及恢復時間、以及體位性或勞力性癥狀。
-
相關環(huán)境因素包括:高溫、脫水和酒精。 |
Which disease, risk factor, or family history is present?
-
Organic heart disease is associated with arrhythmia and increased risk of death.
-
Psychiatric illnesses most commonly associated with syncope are major depression (12.2%), alcoholism (9.2%), generalized anxiety disorder (8.6%), and panic disorder (4.3%). These correlate with a higher rate of recurrent syncope, younger age, and a more benign course.
-
Older age (>60 years) is more highly associated with arrhythmias, orthostatic hypotension, medication side-effects, and situational (e.g., micturition) syncope.
-
Ask about diabetes mellitus, neuropathy, anemia, and other chronic diseases.
-
Inquire about a family history of sudden death, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, or other organic heart disease. |

- B. 疾病、危險因素及家族史
-
器質性心臟病可伴隨心律不齊和死亡危險增加。
-
與暈厥最有關系的精神疾病包括嚴重的抑郁(12.2%)、酒精中毒(9.2%)、全身性焦慮(8.6%)和恐懼病(4.3%)。上述疾病通常與較高的暈厥復發(fā)率、年幼和較為良性的病程有關。
-
老齡病人(>60歲)與心律不齊、直立性低血壓、藥物副作用和環(huán)境性(如排尿)暈厥關聯(lián)更大。
-
詢問 糖尿病、神經(jīng)病、貧血和其他慢性病。
-
查詢卒死、肥厚性心肌病及其他器質性心臟病的家族史。 |
What medications does the patient take?
The most commonly implicated are antihypertensives and antidepressants. Others include antianginals, analgesics, and sedatives. |

病人用藥
最常見的影響藥物有降壓藥和抗抑郁劑。其他藥物包括抗心絞痛藥、麻醉劑和鎮(zhèn)靜劑。 |
