Subject: Pacemaker syncope
Pacemaker syncope due to "a runaway pacemaker firing" could be referred to as a "referred syncope."
Also...a pacemaker when inserted to treat syncope, fails to function, then the patient would have "recurrent syncope" due to pacemaker failure.

Per http://medicineworld.org/medicine/neurology/syncope.html it says that it is Neurogenic vasodepressor syncope, and I think that neuro depressor syncope may just be shortening the full term.
Also, the doctor then used the term vaso depressor syncope later on in the letter, which suggests to me that they might be both shortened versions of the same term.

The ventricular lead was difficult to place and required multiple repositions. Even at final positioning the thresholds were not great. He had a pacing threshold of 0.8 volts at a current of 1.8 ma with an impedance of 576 ohms. R-wave sensing was 4.1 millivolts. However, I don’t feel that sensing on this lead will be all that necessary – he is pacemaker dependent. Both leads were then fixed in place and connected to a Medtronic DDDR pacemaker model Kappa DR803. The pacemaker demonstrated good sensing and capture.

Subject: ____ 496 ohms (pacemaker)
The R-wave was measured at 12.6 millivolts. Pacing threshold was 0.7 volts at 0.5 milliseconds, ____ 832 ohms. The second lead was then placed in the right atrium. P-waves measured 1.7. Pacing threshold was 1.1 volts at 0.5 milliseconds, ____ 496 ohms.
This doctor talks so fast I have no idea what he is saying. The two blanks are the same word but I have no clue what it even sounds like.
