Abstract

In this study, we tested two hypotheses. First, we tested the hypothesis that reflex constriction of the venous capacitance beds in patients with vasovagal syncope is impaired during both subhypotensive lower-body negative pressure. Second, we proposed that splenic venoconstriction may be impaired during exercise in patients with vasovagal syncope.
