ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the circadian rhythm of neurally mediated syncope (NMS)in children. Methods There were 21 6 children with NMS included in the study,including 91 male and 1 25 female,aged from 4 to 1 7 years old with a mean age of (1 1 .34 ±2.65)years,who came from the Specialist Syncope Outpatient Department or Inpatient Department of the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from December 201 3 to October 201 5. The patients were divided into vasovagal syncope (VVS)group and postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS)group ac-cording to head -up tilt test (HUTT)results,including 1 78 VVS patients and 38 POTS patients.Ninety -four patients with NMS were in the 0.05).(2)The number of syncopal episodes in patients with VVS which occurred in the morning hours was strikingly higher than that of afternoon,evening or nighttime (P 0.05).Patients with VVS had a higher proportion of episodes in the morning but a lower proportion in the evening when compared with the POTS group (P <0.05).(3)The male children with NMS tended to have a higher proportion of episodes in the morning than the female patients(χ2 =1 1 .001 ,P =0.01 2).(4)There seemed to be no difference in the frequency of syncopal episodes through the day between the <1 2 years old group and the ≥1 2 years old group(χ2 =1 .995,P =0.573).Conclusions The frequency of syncopal episodes in children with VVS displayed a clear circadian rhythm,with a peak in the morning,but the POTS patients did not show a circadian variation.The male children with NMS tended to have a higher proportion of episodes in the morning than the female patients.
