Abstract

Cardioneuroablation is an emerging alternative therapeutic modality for young patients with severe neurally-mediated syncope. We present two images of cardioneuroablation performed in young patients who suffered from recurrent neurally-mediated syncope with asystole and functional atrioventricular block. The patients remain syncope-free during follow-ups.

Keywords: asystole; cardioneuroablation; functional atrioventricular block; neurally-mediated syncope.
