"Bei hypotonen und kreislauflabilen Patienten ist die Infusionsbehandlung einschleichend vorzunehmen, da in diesen Fällen alle durchblutungsfördernden Präparate zu einer passageren Blutdrucksenkung mit Kollapsneigung und vereinzelt zu stenokardischen Beschwerden führen können."

tendency to collapse
Kollaps = collaps, syncopal attack, syncope
e.g.:
Too rapid infusion may produce sensation of warmth, palpitations and tendency to collapse.
http://www.iv-partner.com/index.cfm?5BE39E8A3FCA4F8BAA0921F4...
In patients with hypotension and circulatory instability, injection or
infusion therapy should be introduced gradually, because all agents
which promote blood flow may produce transient hypotension coupled with tendency to collapse and in isolated cases, may result in anginal discomfort.

Ohnmacht (Synkope, <u>Kollaps</u>)
Eine Ohnmacht (Synkope) ist eine kurze Bewusstlosigkeit, die durch eine vorübergehende Durchblutungsstörung im Gehirn verursacht wird. Dauert die Ohnmacht länger als einige Minuten muss umgehend ein Arzt gerufen werden.
Im Gegensatz zur echten Bewusstlosigkeit (Koma) besteht für den Ohnmächtigen meist keine direkte Lebensgefahr.

Oxford Dictionary of Sports Science & Medicine:
collapse
A condition of extreme prostration, associated with sudden loss of consciousness due to faulty circulation such as might occur from a defective heart, shock, or haemorrhage. Although the collapse of an athlete following strenuous activity may be physiological (for example, a marathon runner who stops suddenly at the end of a race may collapse because of the pooling of blood in the legs), any collapse should be investigated completely to eliminate sinister causes.

If I may put my two cents in, then going by the references above, it's best to translate the German 'Kollaps' with 'collapse' without qualifying it any further. Calling it 'fainting' or 'circulatory collapse' in translation would tantamount to an addition of meaning to the idea conveyed by the German term.

Discussion
Collapse is a sudden and often unannounced loss of postural tone (going weak), often but not necessarily accompanied by loss of consciousness.
If the episode was accompanied by a loss of consciousness, the term syncope is used. The main causes are cardiac (e.g. due to irregular heart beat, low blood pressure), seizures or a psychological cause.[1] The main tool in distinguishing the causes is careful history on the events before, during and after the collapse, from the patient as well as from any possible witnesses. Other investigations may be performed to further strengthen the diagnosis, but many of these have a low yield.[1]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collapse_(medical)
At first I thought of entering "tendency to syncope" but then decided to use the more general term of "collapse".
In Dorland the following entry can be found:
collapse - 1. a state of extreme prostration and depression with failure of circulation; 2. abnormal falling in of the walls of any part or organ;
circulatory collpase: shock ; circulatory insufficiency without congestive heart failure ...
