Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this study was to share our experi- ence in the diagnosis and treatment of patients who present- ed at our clinic with syncope, pre-syncope, dizziness, and palpitations. Study design: Patients who were treated at pediatric cardi- ology clinic for complaints of syncope, dizziness, and palpi- tations between 2014 and 2016 were enrolled in the study. Detailed history of the patients, physical examination findings, laboratory and electrocardiogram results were recorded. Tilt table test, 24-hour Holter rhythm monitoring, and exercise test were performed, as required. Patients were diagnosed as va- sovagal syncope, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), or inappropriate sinus tachycardia based on these findings. Treatment of the patients was evaluated. Results: Thirty patients were diagnosed as vasovagal syn- cope, 7 patients as POTS, and 2 as inappropriate sinus tachycardia. POTS accompanied Raynaud’s phenomenon in 1 patient, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in 1 patient, and ho- mocystinuria in another patient. Complaints of patients with vasovagal syncope improved with non-medical therapy. Medi- cal treatment was administered to the patients with diagnosis of POTS and inappropriate sinus tachycardia. Conclusion: In patients with complaints of syncope, pre- syncope, dizziness, and palpitations without structural heart disease or non-rhythm problems, cardiovascular autonomic disorders, such as POTS and inappropriate sinus tachycardia should be kept in mind, as well as vasovagal syncope

Özet

Amaç: Kliniğimize senkop, presenkop, baş dönmesi ve çarpıntı yakınmaları ile başvuran olguların tanı ve tedavilerindeki deneyimlerimizi paylaşmayı amaçladık. Çalışma planı: Çalışmamıza 2014-2016 yılları arasında çocuk kardiyolojisi polikliniğimize çarpıntı, senkop, presenkop ve baş dönmesi yakınmaları ile başvuran olgular alındı. Olguların detaylı öyküleri, fizik bakı bulguları, laboratuvar incelemeleri ve EKG sonuçları kaydedildi. Gerekli görülen hastalara eğik masa testi, 24 saatlik ritim Holter monitörizasyonu, uzun sü- reli olay kaydedici ve efor testi uygulandı. Bu veriler ışığında olgulara vazovagal senkop, postüral ortostatik taşikardi sendromu (POTS) ve uygunsuz sinüs taşikardisi tanıları konuldu. Olguların tedavi yaklaşımları değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Otuz hastaya vazovagal senkop, 7 hastaya POTS, 2 olguya uygunsuz sinüs taşikardisi tanıları konuldu. POTS tanısı konan olgularımızdan birine Raynaud fenomeni, birine hipertrofik kardiyomiyopati, birine ise homosistinüri eşlik etmekteydi. Vazovagal senkop tanısı konan olguların yakınmaları önlemler ile geriledi. POTS tanısı konan iki olguya ve uygunsuz sinüs taşikardisi tanısı konan iki olguya farmakolojik tedavi başlandı. Sonuç: Senkop, presenkop, baş dönmesi ve çarpıntı gibi yakınmalarla polikliniğe başvuran hastalarda tanıda vazovagal senkop dışında, nadir de olsa postüral ortostatik taşikardi sendromu ve uygunsuz sinüs taşikardisi gibi kardiyovasküler otonomik bozukluklar akılda tutulmalıdır.
