ABSTRACT

Echocardiographic findings were reviewed for 106 patients (mean age 41.3 ± 23.0 years, range 3 to 90 years, 61% female) referred for evaluation of unexplained syncope. Abnormal echocardiographic findings were seen in 36/106 (34%) patients, of which 12/106 (11%) may have an abnormality that contributed to symptoms. Abnormal echocardiographic findings (64 vs 6%, p < 0.01) and those possibly causing syncope (22 vs 0%, p < 0.05) were significantly more likely in the oldest tercile of patients compared with the youngest. No patient less than 35 years old had a possibly diagnostic abnormality.


Se revisaron los hallazgos ecocardiográficos de 106 pacientes, edad promedio 41.3 ± 23.0 años, rango 3 a 90 años, 61% hembras, referidos para evaluación del síncope inexplicado. Se observaron hallazgos ecocardiográficos anormales en 36/106 (34%) pacientes, de los cuales 12/106 (11%), podían tener una anormalidad que contribuyera a los síntomas. Los hallazgos ecocardiográficos anormales (64 versus 6%, p < 0.01) y aquellos que posiblemente causan síncope (22 versus 0%, p < 0.05) fueron significativamente más probables en el tercil de pacientes de mayor edad en comparación con los más jóvenes. Ningún paciente menor de 35 años de edad tuvo alguna anormalidad diagnóstica.
