Cardiac Autonomic Denervation for Cardio-inhibitory Syncope

brief summary

Background: Autonomic system modification is an established therapeutic approach that has been increasingly used for the treatment of vagal-related symptomatic bradycardia, such as cardio-inhibitory vasovagal syncope1-12. Although convincing results had been reported from small populations, a large randomized study providing robust evidence on the efficacy of this approach has not yet been performed. Hypothesis: Cardiac autonomic system modification is effective for the treatment of vagal-related symptomatic bradycardia, and is associated better clinical results as compared to placebo.
