An unexplained Syncope, a case study
An unexplained syncope examines a case of an elderly patient with a brief episode of unconsciousness. The session explores the assessment of this patient and considers the relevant history findings to identify differential diagnoses. The patient's presentation, key assessment findings and relevant past medical history are reviewed and treatment options discussed.
