MeSH Heading: Adams-Stokes Syndrome
Tree Number(s): C14.280.067.558.137; C14.280.123.500.137; C23.550.073.425.025
Unique ID: D000219
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D000219
Scope Note: A condition of fainting spells caused by heart block, often an atrioventricular block, that leads to BRADYCARDIA and drop in CARDIAC OUTPUT. When the cardiac output becomes too low, the patient faints (SYNCOPE). In some cases, the syncope attacks are transient and in others cases repetitive and persistent.
