Figure 68.

Syncope. Recorded syncope during venipuncture on compressed time base. (a) Part 1 shows a normal awake EEG tracing followed by onset of asystole (marked by star). The EEG begins to show diffuse delta activity, then becomes suppressed at the end of the epoch shown. (b) Part 2 shows diffuse suppression in the initial portion of the epoch. Sinus rhythm has returned, correlating with an initial resumption of diffuse delta and then theta EEG activity, then a return of normal background in the latter portion of the figure. Copyright 2013.
