How it works
The San Francisco Syncope Rule identifies patients at higher risk for serious outcomes after syncope in many validation cohorts; use as an adjunct, not a single mandate.
Limits
Does not replace telemetry decisions, orthostatic testing, or cardiac imaging when clinically indicated.
Educational tool only—not for diagnosis or treatment decisions.
