A Tick of the Clock: Finding the Sweet Spot in Tilt Table Test. The Effectiveness of Short‐Duration Head‐Up Tilt Test as a Diagnostic Tool in Suspected Vasovagal Patients: A Retrospective Observational Study in a Tertiary Syncope Unit [PDF]
Journal of ArrhythmiaAims The head‐up tilt test (HUTT) has been markedly changed over the years, especially in the specified time for the passive and active phases. However, a consensus‐based protocol has yet to be established.

Predictive value of isolated very low QRS voltage in tilt-table test for neurally mediated syncope [PDF]
SAGE Open MedicineObjective: The cause of syncope is generally determined based on clinical manifestations. There has been little discussion about the value of electrocardiograms for diagnosing neurally mediated syncope.

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. It is a common symptom with a complex pathophysiology and, therefore, several aetiologies. Tilt-table testing (TTT) is an important, yet perhaps not widely-used, test that forms part of the management of syncope.

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

Cerebral Perfusion Monitoring Using Near-Infrared Spectroscopy During Head-Up Tilt Table Test in Patients With Orthostatic Intolerance [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2019 The head-up tilt table test (HUT) is one of the primary clinical examinations for evaluating orthostatic intolerance (OI). HUT can be divided into three phases: dynamic tilt phase (supine to tilt up), static tilt phase (remain tilted at 70°), and post ...

Autonomic uprising: the tilt table test in autonomic medicine. [PDF]
Clin Auton Res, 2019 This perspective piece on head-up tilt table testing is part of a series on autonomic function testing. The tilt table can be a useful diagnostic test, but methodologies vary, and the results are sometimes misinterpreted. The intent here is not to review comprehensively the utility of various tilt table testing protocols but to convey a number of ...

Tilt Table Test: State of The Art
Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2003 The loss of consciousness has been a subject of wonder and uncertainty in humans, and for this reason it has been the object of medical investigation since the beginning of time. Even actually, it is certainly an unresolved clinical problem.

Reduced systemic vascular resistance is the underlying hemodynamic mechanism in nitrate-stimulated vasovagal syncope during head-up tilt-table test [PDF]
Journal of Arrhythmia, 2015 Background: Nitroglycerin (NTG) challenge during head-up tilt-table testing (HUTT) is often utilized to determine the etiology of unexplained vascular syncope.
