La sincope è una perdita di coscienza transitoria (PdCT), a insorgenza rapida, da ipo-perfusione cerebrale globale, di breve durata e a risoluzione spontanea. In tale definizione è stata volutamente inserita la causa d'incoscienza, cioè l'ipoperfusione cerebrale transitoria, cosa che esclude cause come l'ictus e la commozione cerebrale (la forma più comune di trauma cranico nello sportivo), in precedenza non ben distinte dalla sincope vera e propria.
