Carotid sinus hypersensitivity (CSH) was diagnosed when CSM elicited a pause of &gt;3 s and\/or a fall in systolic blood pressure\u00a0&gt;50\u00a0mm Hg without reproduction of spontaneous symptoms. Carotid sinus syndrome (CSS) was established when spontaneous symptoms were reproduced in the presence of bradycardia and\/or hypotension.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The reproducibility of CSM was 78% for 18 CSS patients, 41% for 29 CSH patients, and 77% for 62 negative patients. The corresponding interrater agreement was good for CSS (kappa\u00a0=\u00a00.66), moderate for negative CSM (kappa\u00a0=\u00a00.42), and poor for CSH (kappa\u00a0=\u00a00.30).

About half of patients with CSH had a negative response at the second test, thus suggesting a great overlap between
