Sympathetic nerve abnormality in an adolescent patient with cardioinhibitory vasovagal syncope: MIBG and HRV of CIVS
Journal of Cardiology Cases(2021)
Abstract
Abstract A 15 year-old-Japanese girl was admitted to our ward because of syncope. Electrocardiography (ECG) demonstrated sinus bradycardia with heart rate of 52/min. Holter ECG showed no arrhythmia related to syncope. Coronary enhanced computed tomography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging showed no abnormal findings. Head-up tilt test revealed syncope with sinus arrest. 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) myocardial scintigraphy revealed focally decreased uptake on the anterior wall of the left ventricle but generally maintained uptake of MIBG. Finally, she was diagnosed with cardioinhibitory vasovagal syncope (CIVS). Sympathetic nerve abnormalities seemed to be related to CIVS in this patient.
