Syncope is a common symptom that leads to 1% of admissions to hospital emergency departments, and is associated with high costs to the health system. The cardiology department of Faro Hospital has had a syncope unit since July 2007. The aim of this study is to analyze its results in terms of etiological diagnosis and treatment of syncope, using diagnostic flowcharts based on European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines.
