Since publication and discussion of the original patients, I have continued to evaluate patients with loss or near loss of consciousness using the patient's facial color as a guide to underlying etiology. This has consistently provided a quick, reliable method for trying to sort through these difficult cases. Others have similarly noted value of a pale, ashen facial color in diagnosing patients with transient loss of consciousness. I present now my experience with the first 100 patients presenting with syncope and associated pale facial appearance. |
