Abstract: ObjectiveTo observe the changes of brain neurotransmitters in patients with vasovagal syncope (VVS) with encephalofluctuogram technology (ET). MethodsFrom August, 2015 to December, 2016, 30 patients with VVS were selected as case group, 30 controls matched with sex and age were selected from the outpatients without syncope. They were detected the function of gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA), glutamate (Glu), 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), acetylcholine (Ach), norepinephrine (NE) and dopamine (DA) with ET. ResultsThere was no significant difference between the two groups in the values of GABA, Glu, 5-HT, Ach and DA (t<1.680, P>0.05), while the values of NE was higher in the case group than in the control group (t=-3.552, P<0.001). ConclusionVVS may be related to the high level of activity of NE in the brain.
