2. What Is Syncope?
Syncope can be defined as a loss of consciousness that is temporary and self-limiting causing inability to maintain posture and followed by spontaneous recovery. It is important to note that this definition excludes other states of altered consciousness such as coma, seizures, or shock.
While most causes of syncope are usually harmless, it may be due to a life-threatening event in some patients.
