Help with terminology

[Boharford]

My wife has had tests and hospital doctor has suggested diagnoses of`;

Syncope. Cardiac Syncope. Vasovagal cardiac syncope cardioinhiibitory component palpitations. Increased right ventricular thickened 0.6 cm.

She is now to be refferred to a cardiologist and we know there is a long wait in these parts.

Anyone have any knowledge of these symptoms?

Hey.Syncope is the posh term for blacking out due to the hearts rhythm or blood pressure. Thickened ventricular means the right ventricle of the heart wall has thickened slightly. Palpitations are flutters of the heart, you feel your heart racing. Hope this helps a little x
