Jul 20 - Evaluation of Syncope

Good July topic for discussion.  See this blog post from last July for an in-depth review with article links - not much new research in this area since then so no new links of note.  I will link again to this article describing the cost effectiveness of a variety of tests for sycope.  Basically it costs $17 per correct diagnosis for postural BP checks, $1000 for an ECG, and ~$20,000 for a carotid ultrasound.
