This study compared alterations in arterial catecholamine concentrations associated with tilt-induced vasovagal syncope that differed in older (>65 years) and younger patients (<35 years). Older patients with tilt-positive tests tended to exhibit higher baseline epinephrine (E) concentrations and lesser E surge before development of syncope than younger patients (<35 years), whereas both groups manifested comparable norepinephrine (NE) responsiveness.
本研究比较了老年(>65岁)和年轻患者(<35岁)因倾斜诱发的血管迷走性晕厥相关的动脉儿茶酚胺浓度变化。倾斜试验阳性的老年患者与年轻患者(<35岁)相比,晕厥发生前往往表现出更高的基线肾上腺素(E)浓度和更小的E激增,而两组的去甲肾上腺素(NE)反应性相当。
