Diagnostic yield of neuroimaging in syncope patients without high-risk symptoms indicating neurological syncope
The American Journal of Emergency Medicine May 24, 2018
Idil H, et al. - Researchers sought to assess the diagnostic yield of neuroimaging in patients with syncope without high-risk symptoms. They screened adult patients who presented to the Emergency Department (ED) with syncope in 2016 retrospectively and included a total of 1,114 patients in the study. The neuroimaging tests performed were cranial computerized tomography (CT) in 694 (62.3%) cases and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in 114 (10.2%) cases. Findings suggested no benefit of performing neuroimaging in patients whose medical history and physical examination do not indicate neurogenic syncope, even if the patient has mild head trauma.
