Özet
Objective: This study aims to investigate the ECG and ECO parameters in patients admitting to the emergency department with syncope and to evaluate relationship between ECG and ECHO findings and the cause and feature of syncope. Methods: A total of 90 patients admitted to our emergency department due to syncope between January 2016 and December 2016 were included in the study. This research is designed as a prospective cross-sectional case study. Electrocardiographic and echocardiographic parameters were measured and recorded. The type-1 error level was determined as 0.05 for statistical significance. Results: Forty (44.4%) of the patients were female, and 50 (55.6%) were male. The mean age of the patients was 63,5 years of age. Most of the cases (% 57,8) discharged with a follow-up decision, and 36 patients were hospitalized, and 2.2% of patients died. When the relationship between the syncope duration of the patients and the duration of PR, QRS, and QT at the time of referral and 6th hour were examined, the only relation between QRS duration and duration of syncope was found statistically significant. Tricuspid insufficiency (41.1%), mitral regurgitation (37.8%), aortic insufficiency (18.9), mitral stenosis (6.7%) and aortic stenosis (5.6%) were found to be the most common cardiac valve diseases in the patients. The mean ejection fraction values of the patients were 50.3% and mean pulmonary artery pressure 30.8 mmHg. Conclusion: The use of ECG and ECHO in all patients who are referred for syncope is very useful in distinguishing cardiac syncope patients, diagnosing syncope, and identifying patients at risk.
