Other causes of syncope are dilated cardiomyopathy, coarctation of aorta, aortic stenosis wherein the syncope is seen after exertion due to reduced systemic blood flow. An international compendium of mutations in the SCN5A-encoded cardiac sodium channel in patients referred for Brugada syndrome genetic testing.
