Abstract

Syncope is common, but there is no clear cause for half of the patients diagnosed with syncope. Although suspected, there is limited evidence that right-to-left shunt (RLS) is related to syncope. This matched case-control study investigated the association between RLS (exposure) and unexplained syncope (outcome).
