Multistructure index characterization of heart rate and systolic blood pressure reveals precursory signs of syncope

Abstract Recurrent syncope — abrupt loss of consciousness — can have a serious impact on patients’ quality of life, comparable with chronic illnesses. Vasovagal syncope (VVS) is a specific reflex syncope, in which an inappropriate reaction of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) plays a key role in th...
