In this episode of Matters Of The Heart, Pentucket Medical cardiologists Dr. Sunny Srivastava and Dr. Kenneth Adams discuss the common but frightening issue of syncope, or fainting. As much as 5% of all emergency room visits and 1% of all hospitalizations are syncope-related. One third of the population will faint during their lifetime. The doctors discuss causality, risk factors, prevention, and treatment.
