摘要
A new guideline for diagnosis and treatment of syncope in children and adolescents was published by Chinese Pediatric Cardiology Society (CPCS)[1].This guideline admirably outlines a differential diagnosis of syncope in the Chinese population,placing appropriate emphasis on vasovagal syncope (VVS,simple faint), the most common cause.The authors appropriately discuss other more ominous causes of syncope such as cardiogenic syncope and neurogenic orthostatic hypotension.In particular,cardiogemc syncope can have lethal consequences if not promptly treated.
