A previous observational study suggested that, in syncopal elderly patients with vasovagal syndrome, a test using adenosine-5'-triphosphate (intravenous ATP 20 mg. 2 ml-1) could identify a subgroup of patients at high risk of severe cardioinhibitory response and guide the therapeutic strategy. To test one aspect of these results prospectively, we designed a small study focusing only on vasovagal patients with abnormal response to ATP testing.
