Identifies low-risk patients 60 years or older presenting with syncope.
FAINT Score for Syncope
The FAINT syncope score is a derived but not yet externally-validated risk stratification tool that uses historical, ECG, and laboratory findings to identify low-risk patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) with syncope. Specifically, it has identified variables to find those patients less likely to have a serious cardiac event or death within 30 days. This score was derived from a prospective observational study of 3177 adults 60 years or older presenting to the ED with syncope or near syncope.
