This editorial refers to ‘The effects of exercise training on arterial baroreflex sensitivity in neurally mediated syncope patients’ by G. Gardenghi et al., doi:10.1093/eurheartj/ehm208

The first 10% of the full text of this article appears below.

Neurally mediated syncope (NMS) is the result of a critical cerebral hypoperfusion. The pathophysiology of this abnormality is multifactorial. Optimal cerebral perfusion depends on an adequate functioning of the control mechanisms maintaining cerebral oxygen delivery. This includes baroreflex-induced adjustments of the systemic vascular resistance, intravascular volume regulation, and also cerebral autoregulation.1 The tool to diagnose NMS has been . . .
