Syncope
Syncope is another word for fainting. It is a clinical syndrome in which transient loss of consciousness (TLOC) is caused by inadequate blood flow to the brain, most often the result of an abrupt drop of systemic blood pressure. A person with syncope typically recovers quickly without treatment. Typically, syncope is not a sign of a life-threatening problem, although some people with syncope do have a serious underlying medical condition.
