Does cardioinhibition during tilt testing identify patients who may benefit from pacing?
The presence of a predominantly cardioinhibitory collapse pattern (VASIS 2A and 2B) during baseline tilt testing doubled the likelihood of successful temporary A-V sequential pacing, and may identify patients with neurocardiogenic syncope most likely to benefit from permanent dual chamber pacing.
Taken together, these results identify an attractive target for intervention in reducing the progression of post-traumatic fibrosis and osteoarthritis.
