Abstract
Background
Ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring has long been used to monitor BP in hypertension and lately emerged as a useful tool to detect hypotensive susceptibility in reflex syncope. However, hemodynamic characteristics in reflex syncope have not been sufficiently explored. The present study investigated the differences between ambulatory BP monitoring profiles associated with reflex syncope and normal population.

Methods and Results
This is an observational study comparing ambulatory BP monitoring data from 50 patients with reflex syncope and 100 controls without syncope, age‐ and sex‐matched 1:2. Mean 24‐hour systolic (SBP) and diastolic BP, pulse pressure (24‐hour PP), dipping status, and number of daytime... (More)

Conclusions
Patients with reflex syncope have lower 24‐hour SBP but higher 24‐hour diastolic BP and more frequent daytime SBP drops (Less)
