A 74-year-old patient was brought to the hospital by the medical team, presenting complaints of pronounced general weakness, periodic dizziness occurring with minor physical exertion, and episodes of short-term loss of consciousness.

The goal is to familiarize platform users with the management algorithm for patients experiencing periodic loss of consciousness, including diagnosis features, clinical diagnosis formulation, emergency care, and long-term therapy tactics.
