This study determined whether a simple drug test may assess one mechanism.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:italic>Methods and Results<\/jats:italic>\n                    To identify patients at risk of severe cardioinhibitory response of vagal origin, we infused 20 mg ATP into 316 patients hospitalized for recurrent syncope (n=195) or presyncope (n=121) of unknown origin and into normal subjects (n=51). We then assessed the ECG and clinical responses to the drug, recommended therapy, and followed up the subjects chronically. A cardiac pause &gt;10 seconds was seen in only 3 normal subjects (6%). Therefore, a pause \u226410 seconds yielded the \u224895th percentile of the normal range. ATP provoked a pause &gt;10 seconds in 130 symptomatic patients (41%) and a pause \u226410 seconds in 186 symptomatic patients (59%). Thus, symptomatic patients with pauses &gt;10 seconds were proposed for pacemaker implantation; all other patients and normal subjects were simply monitored. Among long-pause patients with follow-up, the observed recurrence rate for the 104 with pacemakers was one-third that for the 21 who were only monitored (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt;.0001). Among followed-up short-pause patients, the rate in the 153 monitored-only patients did not differ from the 20 implanted patients (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    =.432).\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>\n                    The vagal effect of ATP may identify the subgroup of patients at high risk of severe cardioinhibitory response of vagal origin who likely will benefit from pacemaker therapy.
