Abstract

Vasovagal syncope (VVS) is the commonest type of autonomic nerve mediated syncope, and the pathogenesis of VVS is complex. The autonomic nervous system consists of the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system. The two systems keep the cardiac balance. It is generally accepted that VVS has the imbalance of cardiac autonomic nerve regulation. In this paper, we summarize the research results about the role of cardiac autonomic nerves and their major neurotransmitters, application of cardiac autonomic nerve function tests, and treatment of autonomic nerve dysfunction in VVS.
