摘要：

A 29-year-old man with malignant vasovagal syncope presented with episodes of abrupt loss of consciousness associated with an aura, totaling more than 10 episodes over 3 months. Holter monitoring showed cardiac arrest with a duration of 15 seconds. Oral propranolol and disopyramide therapy failed to prevent the syncope. A dual chamber pacemaker with a rate drop response algorithm successfully prevented the syncope but not the aura. There may be multifactors involved in the mechanism of this syndrome. The patient has returned to a normal active life. This rate drop algorithm is an effective therapy for the prevention of syncope in malignant vasovagal syncope.
