Do you and your GP appreciate that Syncope is a symptom not a condition?

Every patient who experiences a blackout should be given a 12-lead ECG to check heart rhythm analysis and look for arrhythmias and genetic, inherited or familial heart rhythm disorders.

STARS website, stars.org.uk has many resources for information and there is the STARS patient helpline +44 1789 867 503 or info@stars-international.org for additional advice.
