Swallow (deglutition) syncope: An evaluation of swallowing‐induced heart rate and hemodynamic changes in affected patients and control subjects

Syncope triggered by swallowing is a well‐known but uncommon condition that has been the focus of case reports but is otherwise largely unstudied. To better understand swallow syncope we examined heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) changes during swallowing in clinically suspected swallow syncope patients and asymptomatic control subjects.
