Vasovagal syncope

What is vasovagal syncope?

Vasovagal syncope, the most common type of syncope, occurs in response to triggers and results in a brief loss of consciousness and quick recovery. It is caused by a sudden drop in heart rate and blood pressure, which reduces the flow of blood to the brain.
