'The editors succeed in providing a comprehensive and up-to-date description of the broad scope of syncope, which makes this book a principal text in the field of syncope. The book is very well written and is an excellent addition to the library of any physician who seeks information on the causes, evaluation, and management of syncope.'Hamid Afshar (MD, Ochsner Clinic Foundation), Doodys
