Difference between Hypotension and Syncope (medicine)

Hypotension vs. Syncope (medicine)

Hypotension is low blood pressure, especially in the arteries of the systemic circulation. Syncope, also known as fainting, is a loss of consciousness and muscle strength characterized by a fast onset, short duration, and spontaneous recovery.

Autonomic nervous system

The autonomic nervous system (ANS), formerly the vegetative nervous system, is a division of the peripheral nervous system that supplies smooth muscle and glands, and thus influences the function of internal organs.
