Nitrate Stimulated Tilt Table Testing:

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, 2003
often expensive cardiac exam-inations were performed without resulting in aclear diagnosis. The more frequent use of the“passive” unmedicated tilt test also revealed itspractical limitations. Not only is the test timeconsuming, but also the sensitivity in unselectedpopulations appears not to be as high as originallydescribed.

How to: Tilt-Table Testing

2010
On moving from supine to erect posture there is a large gravitational shift of blood away from the chest to the distensible venous capacitance system below the diaphragm. This shift is estimated to total ½–1 L of thoracic blood with most of the volume shift occurring in the first 10 s of upright posture.

Unexplained syncope: diagnostic value of tilt-table testing

American Journal of Critical Care, 1994
Vasovagal syncope is a common syncope in patients who have no structural heart disease and occurs more often in young adults. It typically occurs in the erect posture, either standing or sitting. Upon recognition of the prodrome associated with NCS, subjects may avert syncope by lying down or putting the head between the knees.

Tilt table testing in patients with suspected epilepsy

Acta Neurologica Scandinavica, 2008
Approximately 20-30% of patients with epilepsy are misdiagnosed and syncope often seems to be the mistaken cause. We re-evaluated patients referred to an epilepsy clinic where suspicion of neurally mediated (reflex) syncope were raised using tilt table testing (HUT).HUT laboratory results and medical records of 120 consecutive patients were reviewed ...

Tilt Table Testing

2016
Tilt table testing (TTT) was introduced about two decades ago for the evaluation of patients with unexplained syncope. Initially, it was welcome and spread enthusiastically through different medical specialties, but its use has decreased due to the recognition of several limitations when inappropriately employed.

Repeatability of the Tilt-Table Test Method

SAE Technical Paper Series, 1993
<div class="htmlview paragraph">Tilt-table testing is one means of quantifying the static roll stability of highway vehicles. By this technique, a test vehicle is subjected to a physical situation analogous to that experienced in a steady state turn.

Tilt-table testing and syncope.

Current opinion in cardiology, 1992
Syncope is a common clinical problem with multiple potential causes. Recent studies have delineated the natural history and most frequent causes of recurrent syncopal episodes. The medical history and detailed physical examination are particularly important.

Schellong test in orthostatic dysregulation: a comparison with tilt-table testing

Wiener klinische Wochenschrift, 2005
To evaluate the role of the Schellong test (ST) in forms of orthostatic dysregulation in comparison with the tilt-table test (TT).67 young males (mean age 22 +/- 4 years) from the military service, representing two different cohorts, were examined by ST and TT, which served as gold standard.

Vasovagal syncope and head upright tilt table testing

Critical Care Nursing Quarterly, 1994
Syncope is a common medical complaint that is responsible for a significant number of emergency department visits and hospitalizations each year. A majority of syncopal events are believed to be caused by vasovagal responses. Although vasovagal syncope is essentially equivalent to simple fainting, the physiologic events that lead to this phenomena are ...
