Abstract

This study surveyed current practice patterns with respect to the manner by which cardiac arrhythmia specialists advise patients with vasovagal syncope regarding resumption of motor vehicle operation. Among 66 physician- respondents from 9 countries, 98% indicated that they rely on tilt-table testing to establish a diagnosis, and, if an effective treatment is found based on serial tilt-table testing, they recommend a 6- to 7-week symptom- free waiting period before advising return to driving.
