YUE, A.M., et al. : Neurocardiogenic Syncope Due to Recurrent Tonsillar Carcinoma: Successful Treatment by Dual Chamber Cardiac Pacing with Rate Hysteresis. A patient with recurrent tonsillar carcinoma in his neck presented with cardioinhibitory neurocardiogenic syncope. Ventricular demand pacing was ineffective in preventing recurrent symptoms. The pacemaker was upgraded to a dual chamber device with hysteresis that eliminated further syncopal episodes.
