Syncope: An enigma for clinicians.
Med Today Jan ;3(3):125-9.

Although most episodes of syncope are benign and the cause is not found in about half of all cases, it is important for the practitioner to differentiate between cardiac syncope, or other life-threatening aetiologies and the common faint. The differential diagnosis for syncope is extensive; but a careful history and physical examination, along with selected laboratory studies, can help rule out or confirm the causes of greatest potential concern.
