Adams-Stokes syndrome

Japanese: アダムズ=ストークス症候群 - アダムズストークスしょうこうぐん(英語表記)Adams‐Stokes’s syndrome
Adams-Stokes syndrome
This syndrome was described by G. Morgagni in 1761, and was widely recognized in the 19th century when it was reported by R. Adams (1827) and W. Stokes (1846). Originally, it referred to a condition in which patients with heart block (conduction disorder in the heart's impulse conduction system) such as complete atrioventricular block suddenly experienced cerebral circulatory insufficiency due to cardiac arrest, leading to loss of consciousness and generalized convulsions. However, the term now also includes arrhythmias other than heart block and transient cerebral circulatory insufficiency due to a significant drop in blood pressure.
