Abstract

Carotid sinus hypersensitivity is one of the unexplained causes of syncope in old age. A 56-year-old male, known case of coronary artery disease (CAD) and diabetes mellitus (DM), presenting with syncope, was diagnosed as carotid sinus hypersensitivity incidentally. Hence, the rare disorder like carotid sinus hypersensitivity should also be considered.
