Abstract
Although fairly common, syncope is a frightening symptom that can signal a serious underlying disease. The varying causes present a diagnostic challenge to the examining physician, who needs to assess whether referral for more specialized or invasive study is appropriate. The authors review common causes of syncope and outline a practical approach to rapidly identifying high-risk patients-in other words, to separating the "wheat" from the "chaff."
