A frequent type of syncope, termed

pacemaker implantation despite great controversies about its benefit.[4][5]

The “Cardioneuroablation” is a technique created in the nineties and patented in

]

The results up to 100 months follow-up are showing better outcome than clinical measures or pacemaker implantation with changing the tilt-test on to normal and by absence of syncope in more than 90% of patients without medications.[8][9]
