Hemodynamic differences in isometric counter-pressure maneuvers and their efficacy in vasovagal syncope

Abstract Background Isometric counter-pressure maneuvers (ICM) were proposed as first-line treatment in patients with vasovagal syncope (VVS). The aim was to study hemodynamic mechanisms and effectiveness of ICM in prevention of head-up tilt (HUT)-induced and spontaneous VVS. Methods In 38 patients...
