Sep 14, 2017 - The temporary cessation of cerebral function that causes syncope results from transient and sudden reduction of blood flow to parts of the brain (brain stem reticular activating system) responsible for consciousness. The predisposition to vasovagal syncope starts early and lasts for decades. PREFACE.

The causes of syncope all result in low blood pressure through low peripheral resistance and/or low cardiac output. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF SYNCOPE The vasodepressor response may be triggered by a myriad of stimuli, including orthostatic stress, emotional stress, relative or absolute blood loss, severe pain or a sudden rise in intracranial pressure as occurs with cough or micturation.
