ABSTRACT

Background

Vasovagal Syncope (VVS) is common, yet its pathophysiology is incompletely understood. This study investigated the hypothesis that smoking, through its sympathomimetic effects, might be associated with a lower prevalence of VVS among medical trainees

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted using a self-administered online questionnaire distributed to Jordanian clinical medical students, interns, and junior residents. From 525 initial responses, 456 participants met the inclusion criteria. VVS was defined operationally based on self-report of episodes and typical triggers.
