metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: Recurrent syncope in the elderly is of particular concern to the clinician. Differential diagnosis
  of syncope in such patients presents significant difficulties due to high comorbidity. For patients
  over 70 years old, an increased number of syncopal episodes is typical; syncope becomes
  one of the leading reasons for their emergency hospitalization. The importance of determining
  the exact cause of syncope in this case cannot be overestimated: frequent falls significantly
  reduce the quality of life and can lead to serious injuries or even be fatal. Therefore, today it is
  critically important to have modern diagnostic methods that can help determine the etiology
  of syncope. The presented clinical case demonstrates a diagnostic search using continuous
  non-invasive “beat-to-beat” blood pressure measurement methods during such provocative tests as a passive orthostatic test and a carotid sinus massage. This technique is used routinely
  in the USA and European countries but is not enough widespread in the Russian Federation.
  Such a tool may simplify the differential diagnosis of syncope.
