La cardioneuroablación es una terapia emergente en el tratamiento del síncope neuromediado, que consiste en modular la respuesta autonómica para evitar una respuesta refleja excesiva y los síncopes de repetición. Esta técnica implica la ablación de plexos ganglionares mediante diferentes técnicas.
En este episodio, la moderadora Elisabete Alzola analiza con Óscar Alcalde, Álvaro Marco y Jordi Pérez Rodón la selección de los candidatos a esta terapia y las opciones de tratamiento y seguimiento.
