Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Vasovagal syncope is a common clinical condition, consequential to reduced cerebral blood flow resulting from a failure in cardiovascular homeostasis during orthostasis. Blood pressure regulation is the basis for syncope development. In this regulation, the α1a-adrenergic receptor plays a major role. Some studies have found a positive correlation between the Arg347Cys polymorphism of the...
