In addition to being a cardiologist and cardiac electrophysiologist, Dr. Mayuga is also the Director of the Syncope Center, leading Cleveland Clinic's efforts in the evaluation and management of patients with syncope (loss of consciousness) and orthostatic intolerance (symptoms due to gravitational effects while in upright position). These conditions include cardiac syncope (e.g. arrhythmogenic syncope), reflex syncope (e.g. vasovagal or carotid sinus syncope), orthostatic hypotension (e.g. neurogenic OH from autonomic dysfunction), postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS), and symptoms associated with post-COVID syndrome. In addition to the high-level cardiac evaluations available at Cleveland Clinic, the Syncope Center also has access to a full array of specialized diagnostic modalities including extended-duration Tilt Table Testing (with more than 1,000 tests done per year) using continuous beat-to-beat blood pressure monitoring and 12-lead ECG monitoring (with additional concomitant ancillary testing as needed), Active Stand Testing, invasive cardiopulmonary exercise testing, and Autonomic Function Testing (through the Neurology department) which includes Quantitative Sudomotor Axon Reflex Testing, deep breathing/Valsalva testing, and skin biopsy for nerve fiber density. For those patients with conditions that may benefit from exercise therapy, the Syncope Center has access to high-level Cardiac Rehabilitation services at Cleveland Clinic.
Dr. Mayuga is a recognized leader in the areas of syncope and orthostatic intolerance, with numerous scientific manuscript publications, research presentations, invitations to lecture, and invitations to be the session Moderator or session Chair at national and international medical conferences and scientific sessions.

The staff behind the desks were all extremely rude to me, every single person. One of them even yelled at me for being at her desk. But, the medical professionals were all phenomenal. Dr. Mayuga was the kindest, most thorough, empathetic doctor I've seen since getting sick a year ago. He listened to me & wants to figure out what's causing symptoms rather than just treat them. I couldn't have been happier.

Dr Mayuga is a great listener. I've seen 13 providers in a year and can say that most don't listen. It builds trust when providers listen yo their patients.
