dc.description.abstractBackground: Carotid sinus hypersensitivity (CSH) is a frequent finding in the evaluation of syncope. However, its significance in the clinical setting is still dubious. A new criterion was proposed by Solari et al. with a symptomatic systolic blood pressure (SBP) cut-off value of <= 85 mmHg to refine the vasodepressor (VD) response diagnosis. Objective: To determine and compare the response to carotid sinus massage (CSM) in patients with and without syncope according to standard and proposed criteria. Methods: (3M was performed in 99 patients with and 66 patients without syncope. CSH was defined as cardioinhibitory (CI) for asystole >= 3 seconds, or as VD for SBP decrease >= 50 mmHg. Results: No differences in the hemodynamic responses were observed during CSM between the groups, with 24.2% and 25.8% CI, and 8.1% and 13.6% VD in the symptomatic and asymptomatic groups, respectively (p = 0.466). A p value < 0.050 was considered statistically significant. During the maneuvers, 45 (45.45%) and 34 (51.5%) patients in the symptomatic and asymptomatic groups achieved SBP below <= 85 mmHg. Symptoms were reported especially in those patients in whom CSM caused a SBP decrease to below 90 mmHg and/or asystole > 2.5 seconds, regardless of the pattern of response or the presence of previous syncope. Conclusion: The response to CSM in patients with and without syncope was similar; therefore, CSH may be an unspecific condition. Clinical correlation and other methods of evaluation, such as long-lasting ECG monitoring, may be necessary to confirm CSH as the cause of syncope.
