Tilt-table test: its role in modern practice. [PDF]
Clin Med (Lond), 2013 Syncope is a major healthcare problem with significant morbidity, mortality and healthcare cost.

Tilt table test today - state of the art. [PDF]
World J Cardiol, 2016 A tilt table test (TTT) is an inexpensive, noninvasive tool for the differential diagnosis of syncope and orthostatic intolerance and has good diagnostic yield. The autonomic system malfunction which underlines the reflex syncope is manifested as either hypotension or bradycardia, while an orthostatic challenge is applied. The timing of the response to
