#CPDMEWEBINAR

Syncope, or blackout to the layperson, is common with well over half a million people presenting acutely to UK Emergency Departments and Acute Medical Units every year, many by ambulance. Although many events are due to reflex (simple faint) or postural causes, around 1 in 10 patients will have a serious cardiovascular problem causing their episode. Diagnosing this is difficult as patients have usually recovered by the time they are assessed, and their examination and ECG may both be normal. This talk will focus on everything you need to know about how to assess the patient who presents acutely with syncope, the key things not to miss, a suggested systematic approach to assessment, and finally, will finish with what the future perhaps holds for this patient group.
