Summary

Recurrent vasovagal syncope although presenting a benign prognosis in terms of survival, is associated with significant impairment of quality of life. The impaired emotional status is also related to the recurrence of the events, closing a negative cycle for the evolution of the disease. This study aims to evaluate the effect of psychotherapy on the quality of life and in the number of syncope and pre-syncope events during one year of follow-up of patients with recurrent vasovagal syncope.
