Abstract
A Case of Syncope Induced by Dining-Related Esophageal Stimulation
Syncope can be caused by several diseases or diseased conditions. Repeated syncope occurring during dining is rare. Here we present a case of syncope caused by atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardias (AVNRTs) due to esophageal stimulation.
