Abstract
- Syncope is sudden transient loss of consciousness and postural tone with spontaneous recovery. A 74-year-old man presented with multiple, recurrent episodes of syncope associated with swallowing beverages. Sinus pause and 2:1 atrioventricular block were induced by swallowing carbonated beverages. He was treated with permanent cardiac pacing for the prevention of syncope. Swallow syncope did not recur for one year after implantation of a cardiac pacemaker.
