Syncope: Clinical Study and Outcome of Diagnostic Evaluation.

Conclusion: While evaluating syncope most often the battery of investigations does not lead to any conclusive diagnosis. There was male predominance in presentation. Out of 50 patients 10% had cardiogenic, 20% had neurocardiogenic and in 70% diagnosis was not established. Only 20% had HUTT positive. Echocardiography is the investigation of choice in patients of valvular heart disease. A thorough clinical evaluation is must, investigations are of limited value.
