Reply to “Syncope is associated with electroencephalography changes” and to “Video-EEG during tilt-table testing is an invaluable aid for understanding syncope”

We appreciate the comments from Dr. Heyer (2018) on our recent publication (Muppidi et al., 2018). We acknowledge the work by Heyer et al. on EEG patterns in tilt-induced syncope and in delayed onset tilt-induced hypotension in young patients. In contrast, our retrospective study included mostly adults, with a mean age of 45 years; the youngest patient was 16 years old. In our study population only 3 out of 7 patients with syncope showed visually discernable changes on scalp EEG. This finding was surprising to us as well and the major motivation for its publication.
