Syncope is one of the most prevalent diseases for which there is consultation in Primary Care and Emergency services. This is a picture of sudden and unexpected appearance, so often be a very frightening process for both the patient and for the health workers, and often initially studied in the Emergency services. Although most are benign, there is a small percentage that indicate a serious underlying problem, usually from cardiac causes, which can go as far between 6 to 30% of syncope requiring longer studies, and generate many doubts when making a decision to the responsible physician. This update addresses the most common and the most serious causes and its management are treated and how risk stratification to adopt the most appropriate measures according to each patient.
