Abstract
To evaluate the effect of chronic vasodilator therapy on susceptibilit y to vasovagal syncope, 45 patients with syncope and a positive respon se to tilt testing were randomly assigned to continue or to discontinu e vasodilators, The study result demonstrated that chronic vasodilator therapy enhances susceptibility to vasovagal reaction during upright tilt testing.
