neurocardiogenic syncope, a particularly serious type of vasovagal attack, the cause of which is unknown. A syncope with a psychogenic substrate and predisposition to bradycardia, hypotension and peripheral vasodilation.
Syncope, commonly known as fainting, refers to a sudden loss of consciousness, followed by a rapid and complete recovery. If you have symptoms of dizziness or lightheadedness, without loss of consciousness, this is called presyncope. Syncope should not be confused with sudden cardiac arrest. A person with sudden cardiac arrest also loses consciousness suddenly but will die without immediate medical attention.
