of the role of aortic stenosis in the etiology of syncope.To read this article in full you will need to make a payment

- PreviewWe appreciate Drs Francisco-Pascual and Rivas-Gándara’s interest in our work,1 and we thank them for their enriching comments.2 The authors point out the marked difference between their previous experience,3 in which a direct relation between syncope and aortic stenosis (AS) was found in only 18% of patients compared with the 87% in our population. The different definitions of AS-related syncope would be the main reason for such disparity; whereas in their population exercise-induced low cardiac output was required to call for certain or highly probable AS-related syncope, in our cohort, all patients in whom arrhythmic events leading to syncope were not identified were classified as such.
