Sažetak

A 53-year-old man presented with a protracted presyncope and profound hypotension and bradycardia due to emotion related vasovagal reaction. Electrocardiogram obtained 20 minutes after the onset of presyncope revealed junctional rhythm at 38 beats per minute (bpm). After supination, clinical symptoms and hemodynamic disturbances immediately resolved. Careful cardiologic evaluation revealed significant stenosed coronary vessels. Maintaining the vertical position may be responsible for persistent bradycardia and hypotension after neurocardiogenic reflex provocation.
