Syncope is a transient loss of consciousness due to inadequate blood flow to the brain, which is very common clinically.
Pathologies that can cause syncope are: vasomotor disorders, orthostatic hypotension, cardiac syncope

. However, it is necessary to distinguish fainting from seizures, transient ischemic attacks, episodes of hypoglycemia.
Cardiac syncope is a possible cause on a mechanical basis such as aortic valve stenosis, pulmonary stenosis, obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, congenital lesions associated with increased pulmonary pressure, and mucous tumors. The left atrium blocked the mitral valve
Bouts occur more often during or after exertion (hard physical exertion).



Fainting due to the heart is due to an automatic disorder (pathological sinus node syndrome), conduction disorders (atrioventricular block) or tachycardia…
The treatment will depend on the diagnosis of the cause of fainting. In case your mother needs to be examined by a cardiologist, do necessary tests such as electrocardiograms, echocardiography, some blood tests, chest X-ray.
To confirm the diagnosis. If it is right because the heart needs to be treated early because fainting can be life-threatening as when in traffic or at work, it is prone to accidents..
