Syncope, Varicose Veins, & Chronic Venous Insufficiency

Syncope, commonly known as fainting, is a sudden and temporary loss of consciousness. This occurs due to a reduced supply of oxygen-rich blood to the brain, often linked to low blood pressure (hypotension). The causes of syncope can be cardiac, metabolic, or neurological in nature.

Two of the most common forms of fainting include:

  • Orthostatic Hypotension: A sudden drop in blood pressure when transitioning from lying to standing or sitting to standing.
  • Vasovagal Syncope: A reflex response that leads to fainting due to overstimulation of the vagus nerve, which slows the heart rate and dilates blood vessels.

Abnormal blood pooling in the lower extremities can exacerbate both conditions. This is a common issue in patients with varicosas o insuficiencia venosa crónica.

How Varicose Veins and Venous Insufficiency Contribute to Syncope

Estas venas várices occur when the valves in the veins weaken, allowing blood to flow backward and accumulate in the legs. Over time, this leads to symptoms such as swelling, discomfort, and leg heaviness.

For individuals already prone to postural hypotension, the presence of venous insufficiency can worsen the condition by causing additional blood pooling. This further reduces blood circulation to the brain, increasing the likelihood of fainting episodes.

Managing Vasovagal Syncope and Orthostatic Hypotension

The most common treatments for managing syncope include:

  • Increasing hydration to maintain adequate blood volume.
  • Reevaluating chronic medications that may contribute to low blood pressure.
  • Wearing medias de compresión. improves circulation and prevents blood from pooling in the legs.

Since venous insufficiency can complicate postural hypotension, specialists at Vein Treatment Clinic recommend an early evaluation for vein disease in patients experiencing recurrent fainting spells.

Advanced Treatments for Varicose Veins

If you suffer from varicose veins, several minimally invasive treatments can help restore proper circulation and reduce associated symptoms:

1. Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)

  • Uses heat energy to close problematic veins.
  • Minimally invasive with a fast recovery time.
  • Requires only local anesthesia, allowing for quick recovery and minimal downtime.
  • Provides long-lasting results, reducing the risk of vein recurrence.

2. Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT)

  • Similar to RFA but uses laser energy to seal veins.
  • Effective for larger varicose veins.
  • Performed under local anesthesia in an outpatient setting.
  • Helps relieve pain, swelling, and discomfort associated with varicose veins.

3. VenaSeal

  • A medical adhesive is used to seal the diseased vein permanently.
  • No need for compression stockings post-procedure.
  • Provides immediate relief with minimal side effects.
  • Suitable for patients who prefer a non-thermal, non-tumescent treatment option.

4. Sclerotherapy

  • Ideal for smaller varicose and spider veins.

  • Performed quickly with no need for anesthesia.
