Stand up to syncope as Dr. Dan Dressler (Emory University) guides us to confidently manage cases! We review a framework for understanding different types of syncope, and strategies for determining which low-risk patients can be safely discharged, and appropriate next steps to work up those high-risk and in-between cases.
