atenolol and Syncope

atenolol has been researched along with Syncope in 30 studies

Atenolol: A cardioselective beta-1 adrenergic blocker possessing properties and potency similar to PROPRANOLOL, but without a negative inotropic effect.
atenolol : An ethanolamine compound having a (4-carbamoylmethylphenoxy)methyl group at the 1-position and an N-isopropyl substituent.

Syncope: A transient loss of consciousness and postural tone caused by diminished blood flow to the brain (i.e., BRAIN ISCHEMIA). Presyncope refers to the sensation of lightheadedness and loss of strength that precedes a syncopal event or accompanies an incomplete syncope. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp367-9)

"The objective of this investigation was the assessment of the response rate of oral atenolol in patients with vasovagal syncope after 1 month of treatment."9.08Randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of oral atenolol in patients with unexplained syncope and positive upright tilt table test results. ( Bhuripanyo, K; Chaithiraphan, S; Kangkagate, C; Kulchot, B; Mahanonda, N; Nademanee, K; Wansanit, K, 1995)
"Significant differences between pre- and posttreatment number of VPC, severity of arrhythmia, HR variables, or occurrence of syncope were not observed in dogs treated with atenolol or procainamide."5.10Comparison of the effects of four antiarrhythmic treatments for familial ventricular arrhythmias in Boxers. ( Atkins, CE; DeFrancesco, TC; Gordon, SG; Hamlin, RL; Keene, BW; Meurs, KM; Miller, MW; Moise, NS; Spier, AW; Wright, NA, 2002)

( Bhuripanyo, K; Chaithiraphan, S; Kangkagate, C; Kulchot, B; Mahanonda, N; Nademanee, K; Wansanit, K, 1995)
"To study the efficacy of medical treatment for preventing syncopal recurrences in patients affected by tilt-induced neurally mediated syncope, a randomized placebo-treatment prospective study was performed in 30 patients (10 men and 20 women, mean age 42 +/- 21 years) who had syncope reproduced in 2 consecutive head-up tilt-table tests without pharmacologic intervention (n = 20) or during isoproterenol infusion (n = 10)."5.07A controlled trial of acute and long-term medical therapy in tilt-induced neurally mediated syncope. ( Bottoni, N; Brignole, M; Gianfranchi, L; Lolli, G; Menozzi, C; Oddone, D, 1992)
"We report a case of potential cardiovascular toxicity including syncope, bradycardia, and ECG pauses associated with the use of rivastigmine and atenolol."4.86Potential cardiotoxic reaction involving rivastigmine and beta-blockers: a case report and review of the literature. ( Léos, CL; Paulison, B, 2010)
"This study included 87 consecutive patients with unexplained syncope or pre-syncope who had undergone the head-up tilt (HUT) test with concomitant isoproterenol infusion."3.70Usefulness of head-up tilt test in the evaluation and management of unexplained syncope or pre-syncope. ( Fang, BR; Kuo, LT, 2000)
" At this time the remission of spinal anaesthesia was nearly complete, and the patient had received his daily dose of 150 mg atenolol because of a current hypertension 80 minutes earlier."3.69[Syncope with postoperative beta blocker medication after spinal anesthesia--case report]. ( Seitz, W; Selhorst-Kiss, S, 1997)
"Syncope occurred in nine patients (36%) during the baseline tilt and in seven patients (28%) during isoproterenol infusion (total positives 64%)."3.68Recurrent unexplained syncope in the elderly: the use of head-upright tilt table testing in evaluation and management. ( Elliott, L; Grubb, BP; Hahn, H; Madu, E; Samoil, D; Temesy-Armos, P; Wolfe, D, 1992)
"Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is a rare arrythmogenic disease characterized by exercise--or stress--induced ventricular tachyarrythmias, syncope, or sudden death, usually in the pediatric age group."1.35Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia in a child: a case report. ( De Wolf, D; Garabedian, L; Panzer, J; Verryckt, A, 2008)
"A vasovagal syncope was considered as the most likely diagnosis."1.33["Coffee swallowing syncope"]. ( Schmidt, Ch; Sendi, P, 2005)
"Neurally mediated hypotension is now recognised as a common cause of otherwise unexplained recurrent syncope, but has not been reported in association with chronic fatigue."1.29Is neurally mediated hypotension an unrecognised cause of chronic fatigue? ( Bou-Holaigah, I; Calkins, H; Kan, JS; Rowe, PC, 1995)
