Causes Of Stokes-Adams Syndrome ⚡Mnemonic⚡

Mnemonic :  CAUSES

C – Coronary Artery Disease: Reduced blood flow to the heart can lead to Stokes-Adams Syndrome.

A – Atrioventricular Block: High-degree AV blocks, particularly third-degree AV block, are a common cause.

U – Upsetting Electrolyte Imbalance: Severe electrolyte disturbances, especially hyperkalemia (high potassium levels), can precipitate this condition.

S – Sick Sinus Syndrome: Dysfunction in the sinoatrial (SA) node can result in Stokes-Adams Syndrome.

E – Elevated Intracranial Pressure: Conditions that raise pressure within the skull, like tumors, can indirectly affect the heart’s conduction system.

S – Surgery Complications: Cardiac surgeries, especially those involving the conduction system, may lead to this syndrome.
