Syncope: An Evidence-Based Approach

Syncope has many possible causes, but the underlying mechanism of loss of consciousness is transient insufficiency of blood-flow to the brain. The result is a temporary disturbance of brain function causing loss of consciousness and collapse. By virtue of its being due to a self-limited hemodynamic problem resulting for example from a heart rhythm problem, or a drop in blood pressure of other cause, syncope differs from other conditions that cause loss of consciousness. A multidisciplinary approach is likely to be most effective for the evaluation and treatment of syncope; often the expertise of cardiologists, neurologists, emergency medicine specialists, general practitioners, geriatricians and other clinicians is needed. However, unfortunately, each of these sub-specialties have tended to develop and use different terminology, methodology and management guidelines; this has complicated effective interaction among these various care-givers, and has made evaluation and treatment of affected patients more complex. This volume, represents a thorough multidisciplinary review of the subject, offering recommendations based on the guidelines as well as experience derived from the various sub-specialties. It begins by discussing the scientific basis behind the diverse pathophysiology of conditions that may cause syncope, and reviews the optimal clinical management pathways. Later sections of the book then take a more practical approach, defining recommendations for the practice of syncope management through case examples. The most common procedures and tests are discussed along with their indications, methodology, interpretation, and limitations. This book has been designed to fulfill the needs of the wide range of medical practitioners involved in the care of syncope patients. All specialties will benefit from the concentration on the importance of medical history taking. Emergency room physicians and internists will be aided by the focus on risk stratification. Cardiologists and cardiac electrophysiologists will find up-to-date recommendations regarding the indications for and appropriate interpretation of noninvasive and invasive cardiac testing. Neurologists and psychiatrists will find useful the sections exploring the often difficult topic of distinguishing true syncope from other important conditions that may present as transient loss of consciousness.

Clinical Pharmacology: Current Topics and Case Studies

Today we witness an eventful time in which the powerful new forces of genomics, information technology and economics are rapidly changing the science and art of medicine. This will require more specialization than ever before. However, there is also an increasing demand for an integrated approach, which is provided by the discipline of Clinical Pharmacology (CP). CP pursues a scientific goal by studying drug action in patients and volunteers, a clinical goal by administering appropriate drug therapy and a regulatory goal by assessing the risk/benefit ratio of drug candidates in drug development and reimbursement. This introduction to current topics of CP covers traditional topics of clinical drug research and trial methodology but also provides insight in current topics like genomics, imaging technology and issues in drug reimbursement. A number of concrete case studies in clinical drug research and development help to give a better understanding of the general principles of CP.
