New onset syncopal events following vagus nerve stimulator implantation might be key to preventing vagus nerve stimulation-induced symptomatic bradycardia -a case report and review

To prevent cardiac asystole in VNS treatment, clinicians should be alert to the possibility of new onset syncopal events differing from habitual seizures.
