AB  - “Marked  clinical  overlap  exists  between  falls,  orthostatic  hypotension,  and  dizzy  spells,  which  may  all  present  as  syncope.  Elderly  patients  may  present  with  recurrent  falls  resulting  from  syncope.”From  the  AHA/ACCF  Scientific  Statement  on  the  Evaluation  of  Syncope  (2006)“Given  that  up  to  70%  of  falls  in  older  persons  are  not  witnessed,  these  patients  may  present  with  a  report  of  a  fall  rather  than  syncope.”From  the  AGS/BGS  Clinical  Practice  Guideline:  Prevention  of  Falls  in  Older  Persons  (2011)
