Neurocardiogenic syncope involves disordered function of the part of the nervous system that regulates blood pressure and vascular tone. A tilt test can identify this condition when the blood pressure drops but the heart rate is slow to pick up, so syncope results. Without knowing the results of your father's tilt test, I cannot comment on whether he has this condition or not. I think this would be less likely than sick sinus syndrome. I hope you find this information useful.
