Predicting Neurally Mediated Syncope Based on Pulse Arrival Time: Algorithm Development and Preliminary Results

Prediction of Neurally Mediated Syncope. Background: Neurally mediated syncope (NMS) is a common disorder that is triggered by orthostatic stress. The circulatory adjustments to orthostatic stress occur just prior to a sudden loss of consciousness. NMS prediction would protect patients from falls or accidents.
