Cover Story: Syncope is a prevalent clinical condition marked by a sudden, brief loss of consciousness due to cerebral hypoperfusion, followed by complete recovery. Its causes may involve the heart, blood pressure, or brain, with outcomes ranging from sudden death to compromised quality of life. Multiple factors contribute to syncope, and a precise diagnostic pathway improves accuracy and treatment. A standardized initial assessment, risk stratification, and appropriate tests aid in identifying the underlying cause. Emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and smart devices promise to reshape syncope management toward a proactive, personalized, data-centric model, ultimately improving patient outcomes and quality of life.
