Characteristics of head‐up tilt testing with additional adenosine compared with head‐up tilt testing with isoproterenol and isosorbide dinitrate [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundHead‐up tilt (HUT) testing is used to establish the diagnosis of neurally mediated syncope (NMS). Adenosine administration during HUT testing is useful for inducing NMS. However, no comparison between adenosine HUT testing and HUT testing using other drugs has been reported.

Head-up tilt test with clomipramine challenge in vasovagal syndrome—a new tilt testing protocol [PDF]
The aim of the study was to randomly compare clomipramine, used as a challenge-agent during head-up tilt test, with isoproterenol, used in the conventional test, in patients with vasovagal syndrome.The serotonergic re-uptake inhibitor clomipramine was infused (5mg in 5min) at the start of head-up tilt test (Clom-HUT) in 126 patients (mean age 41+/-16 ...

Head-up tilt test diagnostic yield in syncope diagnosis
The European Syncope Guidelines (ESG) recommend the use of Head-up tilt test (HUT) in case of suspicion of vasovagal syncope (VVS) or orthostatic hypotensive syncope (OHS) after an adequate initial inconclusive evaluation. We report a single center experience in the scenario of suspected VVS or OHS, who underwent HUT in patients referred to a Syncope ...

Influence of passive leg movements on blood circulation on the tilt table in healthy adults
Background One problem in the mobilization of patients with neurological diseases, such as spinal cord injury, is the circulatory collapse that occurs while changing from supine to vertical position because of the missing venous pump due to paralyzed leg
