A member asked:

What are some cardiac reasons that would cause fainting?

Dr. Geoffrey Rutledge answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Rhythm: Fainting caused by a heart problem can be caused by a change in the rhythm - to one that is too slow or too fast. These can be regular or irregular. The causes of each change span the breadth of medical and cardiac conditions.
