Head-up tilt test diagnostic yield in syncope diagnosis

Journal of Electrocardiology, 2020
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 ...

Methodology of head-up tilt testing in patients with unexplained syncope

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 1991
Prolonged 60 degree head-up tilt has been shown to be valuable in the investigation of unexplained syncope, diagnosing neurally mediated bradycardia/hypotension or malignant vasovagal syndrome. To evaluate the methodology of tilt testing, the following were examined: reproducibility of results, tilt duration, angle of tilt, method of tilt support and ...
