Previous studies have shown that investigation by tilt testing is very appropriate in paediatrics, but the characteristics of children and adolescents who are at high risk of recurrent syncope, once the diagnosis is established, remain unclear. This study was set up to analyse the risk factors attributed to syncope recurrence in paediatric patients.
