Until then, I consider any of these to be independent adverse risk factors. -- Finally, a dedicated syncope unit may improve evaluation and outcome (17). Negative predictors included dementia, pacemaker, coronary revascularization, and cerebrovascular disease. Areas under the ROC curves ranged from 0.88 (95% CI = 0.84
