Cardioneuroablation in neurocardiogenic syncope – hype or hope?

Abstract

We are presenting the ablation of parasympathetic ganglia in the atria as a new method of treatment of vasovagal and other neurocardiogenic syncope. This method, shifting the balance of the autonomic nervous system in the sympathetic direction, is directed to the immediate cause of syncope which is excessive activation of the vagus nerve. Its effectiveness in the annual observation is within 80-100%. This method offers a great chance to improve the quality of life in patients with reflex syncope what have not been prevented by conventional treatment.
