It usually occurs with triggers such as standing up suddenly, standing for a long time, hunger or dehydration, or intense stress. Although most cases are benign, the underlying cause must \u043e\u0431\u044f\u0437\u0430\u0442\u0435\u043b\u044c\u043d\u043e be evaluated.<\/p>\n<p>Vasovagal syncope is the most common cause of fainting in children and is associated with a transient dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system. Prodromal symptoms such as dizziness, dimming of vision, nausea and cold sweating, and rapid heartbeat may accompany it. A proper history and physical examination are the fundamental steps in making the diagnosis.<\/p>\n<p>Cardiac syncope is characterized especially by loss of consciousness developing during exercise and can potentially lead to serious consequences. Arrhythmias, structural heart diseases, and conduction disorders are included in the differential diagnosis. Electrocardiography and advanced cardiologic examinations may be required.<\/p>\n<p>Fainting episodes due to neurological and metabolic causes may be associated with epilepsy, hypoglycemia, or electrolyte imbalances. The duration of loss of consciousness, the presence of convulsions, and the recovery process should be carefully evaluated. When necessary, neurological tests are planned.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>What You Need to Know<\/td>\n<td>Information<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Definition<\/td>\n<td>Syncope is a sudden-onset, short-lasting, and spontaneously resolving loss of consciousness and tone (posture) that develops as a result of a temporary inability to provide sufficient blood flow to the brain. It is common in childhood and is mostly benign; however, in some cases it may be a sign of serious cardiac or neurological causes.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Epidemiology<\/td>\n<td>Approximately 15\u201325% of children may experience at least one syncope episode by adolescence. It is most commonly seen during adolescence. It is slightly more common in girls.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Pathophysiology<\/td>\n<td>Syncope is generally due to a transient reduction in cerebral blood flow. This can occur as a result of autonomic nervous system imbalance, cardiac rhythm disorders, structural heart diseases, volume loss, or changes in vascular tone.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Vasovagal (Reflex) Syncope<\/td>\n<td>It is the most common type of syncope in children. It occurs with triggers such as standing for a long time, a hot environment, pain, fear, or stress. Prodromal symptoms such as dizziness, dimming of vision, nausea, and sweating are common. It is generally benign.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Orthostatic Hypotension<\/td>\n<td>It occurs with a drop in blood pressure within the first few minutes after standing up. Dehydration, rapid growth periods, and certain medications are risk factors.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Cardiac Causes<\/td>\n<td>Arrhythmias (long QT syndrome, supraventricular tachycardia, ventricular tachycardia), structural heart diseases (aortic stenosis, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy), and cardiomyopathies can cause syncope. Syncope occurring during exercise or sudden syncope without prodrome is a warning sign for a cardiac cause.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Neurological Causes<\/td>\n<td>Epileptic seizures can be confused with syncope. Prolonged postictal confusion, tongue biting, and urinary incontinence favor seizures. However, brief convulsions may be seen in some types of syncope.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Metabolic Causes<\/td>\n<td>Hypoglycemia, anemia, electrolyte disorders, and severe infections may lead to syncope-like loss of consciousness.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Psychogenic Causes<\/td>\n<td>Psychogenic syncope (pseudosyncope) can be seen especially in adolescents. There is the impression of loss of consciousness, but there is no true reduction in cerebral blood flow. Attacks are usually prolonged and vital signs are stable.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Clinical Evaluation<\/td>\n<td>A detailed history is the most important step. The onset and duration of the event, triggering factors, accompanying symptoms, and a family history of sudden death should be questioned. Physical examination and orthostatic blood pressure measurement should be performed.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Diagnostic Tests<\/td>\n<td>Electrocardiography (ECG) is recommended for all children. When needed, Holter monitoring, echocardiography, tilt test (head-up tilt test), blood tests, and neurological evaluation may be performed.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Emergency Warning Signs<\/td>\n<td>Syncope during exercise, a family history of sudden cardiac death, chest pain, palpitations, findings of severe heart disease, or the presence of neurological deficit require further evaluation.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Treatment Approach<\/td>\n<td>In vasovagal syncope, increasing fluid intake, regulating salt consumption, and avoiding triggers are recommended. In cardiac or other underlying causes, specific treatment is planned.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Prognosis<\/td>\n<td>The vast majority of childhood syncopes are benign and decrease with age. In cardiac syncope, prognosis depends on the underlying disease, and early diagnosis is important.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-1686048628 > .col-inner {\n  margin: 0px 0px -45px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_1806224477 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n  padding-bottom: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n\t<section class=\"section\" id=\"section_1130042201\">\n\t\t<div class=\"section-bg fill\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content relative\">\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-976569112\">\r\n\r\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1418804529\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner box-shadow-2\" style=\"background-color:#c61b01;\" >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-676671834\">\r\n\r\n\n\t<div id=\"col-886895010\" class=\"col medium-4 small-12 large-4\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover border-gorsel x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1752936990\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner image-cover dark\" style=\"padding-top:120%;\">\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1282\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/cansaran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/DSC03852.webp\" class=\"attachment-original size-original\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cansaran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/DSC03852.webp 1282w, https:\/\/cansaran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/DSC03852-267x400.webp 267w, https:\/\/cansaran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/DSC03852-534x800.webp 534w, https:\/\/cansaran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/DSC03852-768x1150.webp 768w, https:\/\/cansaran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/DSC03852-1026x1536.webp 1026w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1282px) 100vw, 1282px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1752936990 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\r\n\r\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-886895010 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 0px 10px 0px 10px;\n  margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #col-886895010 > .col-inner {\n    padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\r\n\n\t<div id=\"col-191633648\" class=\"col medium-8 small-12 large-8\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner dark\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n\t<div id=\"text-2659074819\" class=\"text\">\n\t\t\r\n\r\n<div><span style=\"font-size: 75%;\">PROF.

(syncope)?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Understanding the mechanism underlying fainting is the most effective way to overcome fear. Our brain functions as the command center of our body, and in order to maintain this function it needs an uninterrupted fuel supply. This fuel is oxygen and glucose (sugar) carried by the blood. Our muscles can tolerate a lack of oxygen for a while, but brain cells are very sensitive in this regard; even a few seconds of interruption in blood flow can cause the \u201csystem to shut down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In normal physiology, when we stand up, gravity rapidly pulls blood toward the feet and legs. Against this powerful effect of gravity, our heart must work like a pump to deliver blood to the very top, namely the brain. At the moment of standing up, more than about half a liter of blood pools in the abdominal cavity and in the veins of the legs. This reduces the amount of deoxygenated blood returning to the heart. In a healthy body, sensitive pressure sensors located in the neck vessels, called \u201cbaroreceptors,\u201d detect this drop within seconds. They send a signal to the brain: \u201cpressure has dropped.\u201d The autonomic nervous system immediately kicks in, slightly increases the heart rate, and constricts the leg vessels to push blood upward. In this way, blood pressure is stabilized.<\/p>\n<p>When syncope develops, a temporary disruption occurs in this perfectly functioning adaptation mechanism. The body cannot adjust the blood pressure or heart rate needed at that moment. When blood flow to the brain falls below a critical threshold, the brain \u201cthrows the switch\u201d to protect itself. Consciousness shuts off, muscle tone is lost, and the person collapses. When the person comes into a horizontal position, the effect of gravity disappears, blood rushes back to the brain, and consciousness returns. In other words, fainting is a defense mechanism by which the brain brings the body into a horizontal position to ensure cerebral blood flow.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_common_is_fainting_syncope_in_children_and_who_is_at_risk\"><\/span>How common is fainting (syncope) in children, and who is at risk?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Fainting is much more common in childhood than you might think. When patients presenting to outpatient clinics are evaluated, it is seen that a considerable proportion of children experience fainting at least once before reaching adulthood. The frequency of this condition peaks especially during adolescence, between the ages of 15 and 19.<\/p>\n<p>There are several reasons why it is more common in girls than in boys.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Rapid height growth during adolescence,<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Blood volume not keeping pace with vessel length,<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Hormonal fluctuations, and<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">The remodeling process of the autonomic nervous system increases this predisposition.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For us as physicians, the main challenge is to distinguish the benign conditions that make up 95% of cases\u2014what we call \u201cvasovagal\u201d or \u201corthostatic\u201d\u2014from the small but dangerous 5% group that carries a risk of sudden death.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_most_common_%E2%80%9CVasovagal_Syncope%E2%80%9D_and_what_are_its_symptoms\"><\/span>What is the most common \u201cVasovagal Syncope,\u201d and what are its symptoms?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>More than half of fainting episodes in children and adolescents are referred to as \u201cVasovagal Syncope.\u201d Also described by the public as \u201clow blood pressure,\u201d \u201cfeeling faint,\u201d or \u201cblacking out,\u201d this condition does not result from a structural heart disease, but from an exaggerated and inappropriate response of the nerve network (the autonomic system) that controls the heart and vessels.<\/p>\n<p>Here, the \u201cVagus\u201d nerve plays the leading role. While in stress the body normally needs to speed up the pulse with a \u201cfight or flight\u201d response, in some individuals the Vagus nerve is overstimulated and produces the opposite effect. The heart rate suddenly slows down and the leg vessels dilate to the maximum. When blood rushes to the legs, the brain is deprived of blood. This condition usually occurs with certain triggers.<\/p>\n<p>The factors that most commonly trigger vasovagal syncope are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Standing still for a long time<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Hot environments<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Stuffy and crowded places<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Hunger<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Dehydration or drinking little water<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Seeing blood<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Having blood drawn<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Receiving an injection<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Sudden fear<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Severe pain<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Excitement<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Stress<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In this type of fainting, the event usually \u201cgives warning.\u201d Before fainting, the child feels some early symptoms.

The basic mechanism here is that the action increases intrathoracic or intra-abdominal pressure, suddenly reduces the amount of blood returning to the heart, and stimulates the Vagus nerve. The most confusing aspect of these fainting episodes is that the child appears healthy at that moment but suddenly collapses with a specific movement.<\/p>\n<p>Actions that can lead to situational syncope include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Severe coughing fits<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Sneezing<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Urinating<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Defecating<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Straining<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Swallowing, taking a large bite<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Drinking a hot beverage<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Drinking a cold beverage<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Playing a wind instrument<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Lifting weights<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Combing hair<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Braiding hair<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In particular, \u201chair-grooming syncope\u201d is an interesting presentation.

Although this greatly frightens the family, it usually does not indicate a heart problem.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_a_breath-holding_spell_seen_in_young_children_a_type_of_Syncope\"><\/span>Is a breath-holding spell seen in young children a type of Syncope?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Yes, technically it can be considered a type of syncope, but its mechanism and age group are different. \u201cBreath-holding spells,\u201d which we frequently see in children between 6 months and 5 years of age, are among the most difficult situations for parents to watch. These spells are not epilepsy (seizures), and they are not a behavior the child does intentionally out of stubbornness; they are a reflex phenomenon.<\/p>\n<p>They generally present in two different types. In the most common \u201cCyanotic Type,\u201d the event begins with a trigger. When the child is prevented, hurt, or frightened, they start crying intensely. At the peak of crying, they hold their breath (lock in expiration), the face and lips turn bluish, and then a brief loss of consciousness and limpness occur.<\/p>\n<p>The other type, the \u201cPallid Type,\u201d is more often seen after a sudden trauma or fear. For example, the child bumps their head on a table. Without even having a chance to cry, unable to even say \u201cow,\u201d they suddenly turn pale and collapse. This is actually a variant of vasovagal syncope in infancy; due to the pain reflex, the heart rate slows down to the point of near standstill.<\/p>\n<p>The features of breath-holding spells are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Between 6 months and 5 years of age<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Developing after crying<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Developing after fear<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Bluish discoloration<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Paleness<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Brief loss of consciousness<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Rapid recovery<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Our most important advice to families is to remain calm. Even if the child becomes breathless at that moment, the brain will reflexively initiate fainting and restart breathing. Most children completely outgrow these spells by the age of 5\u20136.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_dimming_of_vision_upon_standing_up_Orthostatic_Hypotension_occur\"><\/span>Why does dimming of vision upon standing up (Orthostatic Hypotension) occur?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Dizziness and dimming of vision experienced when standing up suddenly from lying down or sitting is called \u201cOrthostatic Hypotension.\u201d The mechanism in this condition is slightly different from vasovagal syncope. While in vasovagal syncope there is a trigger of stress and an exaggerated response of the nervous system, in orthostatic hypotension the problem is an \u201cinsufficient response.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The body cannot generate the pressure needed to pump blood upward against gravity. This is seen especially in adolescents whose vascular bed grows very rapidly, in children who do not take in enough fluids, or in patients who have been on prolonged bed rest.

We call this \u201cConvulsive Syncope.\u201d However, this is not epilepsy; it is a response of the brain to reduced blood flow.<\/p>\n<p>Clues that help us distinguish epilepsy from syncope include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">In epilepsy, loss of consciousness is prolonged<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">In epilepsy, the eyes may remain open<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">In epilepsy, rhythmic convulsions occur<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">In epilepsy, frothing at the mouth may occur<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">In epilepsy, urinary incontinence is common<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">In epilepsy, there is post-seizure drowsiness<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">In syncope, loss of consciousness is brief<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">In syncope, there is rapid recovery<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">In syncope, orientation is not impaired<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The most important distinguishing feature is the post-seizure state we call the \u201cpostictal period.\u201d A child who has had an epileptic seizure is confused when they wake up, does not know where they are, is tired, and usually wants to sleep. A child who faints, on the other hand, wakes up as soon as blood reaches the brain, saying, \u201cWhat happened to me, why am I on the ground?\u201d and is immediately aware of their surroundings.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_signs_Red_Flags_require_urgent_specialist_evaluation\"><\/span>Which signs (Red Flags) require urgent specialist evaluation?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Although most fainting is harmless, there are certain signs that are \u201cRed Flags\u201d for us. If any of these are present, the child must be evaluated in detail by a Pediatric Cardiology specialist. It is vital for families to recognize these situations, where time should not be wasted.<\/p>\n<p>Red flags requiring urgent specialist evaluation include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Fainting during exercise<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Fainting while lying down<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Fainting during sleep<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Sudden fall without preceding symptoms and the presence of trauma findings related to the fall<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Fainting that begins with palpitations<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Fainting that begins with chest pain<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Family history of sudden death<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Family history of a pacemaker<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Accompanying bluish discoloration of the lips<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Falls with injury<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Accompanying urinary incontinence<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Especially fainting episodes that occur \u201cduring activity\u201d (while running, swimming) are the group that worries us most. Fainting that occurs after the activity is over and while resting is usually due to blood pooling in the legs and is more benign.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_treatment_and_lifestyle_changes_for_fainting_syncope\"><\/span>What are the treatment and lifestyle changes for fainting (syncope)?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In cardiac syncope, treatment is determined according to the underlying disease (medication, ablation, pacemaker implantation, etc.). However, in vasovagal and orthostatic syncope, which make up the vast majority of cases, the main treatment is \u201ceducation\u201d and \u201clifestyle changes.\u201d Medication is very rarely needed. The primary goal is to increase fluid volume in the body and support blood pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Lifestyle changes recommended to families and children include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">At least 2 liters of water per day<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Consuming salty ayran<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Consuming salty crackers<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Increasing the amount of salt in meals<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Avoiding standing for long periods<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Shortening the duration of hot showers<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Exercising regularly<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Getting out of bed slowly in the mornings<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Reducing caffeinated beverages<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition, the child should be taught maneuvers to perform \u201cthe moment they feel they are going to faint.\u201d As soon as the child\u2019s vision dims, they should immediately lie down, without caring what others might think, and raise their legs by resting them on a chair or against a wall. This movement sends blood from the legs to the brain and prevents fainting.<\/p>\n<p>If there is no place to lie down, maneuvers that can be applied include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Crossing and tensing the legs<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Squatting<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Hooking the hands and pulling in opposite directions<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Tensing the gluteal muscles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Psychogenic_Syncope_and_how_should_families_manage_the_process\"><\/span>What is Psychogenic Syncope, and how should families manage the process?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In some cases, especially during adolescence, we encounter situations in which all tests are normal but fainting episodes recur very frequently. This is called \u201cPsychogenic Pseudosyncope.\u201d This does not mean the child is faking or lying; it is an unconscious, psychologically based condition. Stress, anxiety disorders, or unmanageable emotional burdens often manifest in this way.<\/p>\n<p>In these patients, fainting usually occurs in crowds, when others are present. While unconscious, the patient keeps their eyes tightly closed, resists when the doctor tries to open them, and protects themselves when falling (they do not get injured). In this case, treatment should be continued with support from a child psychiatrist and psychologist rather than a cardiologist.<\/p>\n\t<div id=\"text-3481093863\" class=\"text\">\n\t\t\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-3481093863 {\n  font-size: 1.5rem;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<div class=\"accordion\">\n\t<div id=\"accordion-2494799467\" class=\"accordion-item\">\n\t\t<a id=\"accordion-2494799467-label\" class=\"accordion-title plain\" href=\"#accordion-item-which-heart-diseases-are-specifically-investigated-during-the-evaluation-of-the-causes-of-fainting-(syncope)-in-children?\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-2494799467-content\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle\"><i class=\"icon-angle-down\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/button>\n\t\t\t<span>Which heart diseases are specifically investigated during the evaluation of the causes of fainting (syncope) in children?<\/span>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<div id=\"accordion-2494799467-content\" class=\"accordion-inner\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-2494799467-label\">\n\t\t\t\n<p>During syncope evaluation in children, rhythm disorders, long QT syndrome, cardiomyopathy, and structural heart diseases are specifically investigated.
