A Lecture on VASOVAGAL SYNCOPE AND THE CAROTID SINUS MECHANISM
Open accessAbstract
fni the present article a form of fainting is described for which the term " vasovagal syncope " will be found most a.ppropriate.It forms a common and interesting disturbance of a transient kind.It will be described and discussed in relation to a mechanism that has been under close investigation in recent years.There is another and distinct condition with which terminology tends to con- fuse it-namely, what I shall call for convenience " Gowers's syndrome "; there is also a third condition, probably comprising a vasomotor disturbance-namely, " Nothnagel's syndrome," and thought by some to be identical with Gowers's syndrome.The available evidence relating to these last two maladies will be considered sufficiently to allow us to see what there is in it of significance from the standpoint of the vascular system.VASOVAGAL SYNCOPE Thirteen years ago IF became interested in what may be called common fainting attacks, or, more precisely, vasovagal syncope.Such attacks had long been known, but although many essays were written in the eighteenth

“Thomas Lewis (1932), who had introduced the term “vasovagal syncope,” described two phenomena: the bradycardia with massive HR slowing and a vasodilation with an excessive fall in BP.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
