Syncope: Etiology and diagnostic approach
There are three major types of syncope: neurally mediated (the most common), orthostatic hypotensive, and cardiac (the most worrisome). Several studies have shown a normal long-term survival rate in patients with syncope who have no structural heart disease, which is the most important predictor of death and ventricular arrhythmia. The workup of unexplained syncope depends on the presence or absence of heart disease: electrophysiologic study if the patient has heart disease, tilt-table testing in those without heart disease, and prolonged rhythm monitoring in both cases if syncope remains unexplained.

Identifying statin-associated autoimmune necrotizing myopathy
Statins up-regulate expression of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR), the rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol synthesis and the major target of autoantibodies in statin-associated immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy. As muscle cells regenerate, they express high levels of HMGCR, which may sustain the immune response even after statin therapy is stopped. Awareness of this entity will help physicians who prescribe statins to take action to limit the associated morbidity. (Source: Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine)
