Tilt-table testing: down but not out [PDF]

Clinical Practice, 2014
Clin. Pract. (2014) 11(3), 265–268 ISSN 2044-9038 part of Syncope is very common, with the overall incidence for first syncope being 6.2 per 1000 patient years, increasing to 20 in females aged over 80 years [1]. Vasovagal syncope (VVS) is by far the most common cause, explaining over 20% of cases, with an underlying cardiac cause in 10% of cases and ...

Feasibility of Blood Pressure Measurement With a Wearable (Watch‐Type) Monitor During Impending Syncopal Episodes

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2022
Background We assessed the reliability and feasibility of blood pressure (BP) measurements by means of a new wearable watch‐type BP monitor (HeartGuide) in detecting episodes of hypotensive (pre)syncope induced by tilt table test.

Effects of age on outcome of tilt-table testing

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1999
Although neurally mediated syncope is thought to be common in the young and rare in the elderly, there are few data evaluating the effects of age on the outcome of tilt-table testing (TTT), especially in patients aged > or =80 years. We examined the results of TTT in 352 subjects with unexplained syncope including 133 patients >65 years of age and 43 ...

Guidelines for Pediatric Radiotherapy Simulation: A Report From the Children's Oncology Group Radiation Oncology Discipline

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric radiation therapy presents unique challenges compared to adult treatments, including those of immobilization, potential need for sedation, and the critical importance of accurate, reproducible positioning. Additionally, heightened attention to imaging doses is necessary to minimize long‐term toxicity in survivors.

Cooccurrence of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome with Two Different Clinical Entities

Case Reports in Pediatrics, 2016
Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is an abnormal heart rate response to a positional change. Several potential mechanisms for pathophysiology of POTS are defined. This syndrome can coexist with different clinical situations. In our report,

Tilt table testing, methodology and practical insights for the clinic

Clinical Physiology and Functional Imaging, 2023
AbstractTilt table testing (TTT) has been used for decades to study short‐term blood pressure (BP) and heart rate regulation during orthostatic challenges. TTT provokes vasovagal reflex in many syncope patients as a background of widespread use.

Misperception of Body Weight After Childhood Cancer

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Misperception of body weight can negatively impact the weight management efforts of childhood cancer survivors (CCSs). Both being overweight or underweight are associated with chronic health conditions commonly observed in CCS; therefore, accurate weight perception is critical for reducing long‐term health risks.

Syncope associated with supraventricular tachycardia: Diagnostic role of implantable loop recorders

Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology, 2021
Syncope represents a relatively uncommon symptom of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). It is likely that an impaired autonomic vasomotor response to the hemodynamic stress of tachycardia is the determinant of hemodynamic changes leading to cerebral ...

Phase Angle as an Early Functional Biomarker of Cancer‐Related Fatigue in Pediatric Oncology: A Prospective Longitudinal Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pediatric cancer remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, particularly in low‐and middle‐income countries. Cancer treatment may impair nutritional status, alter body composition, and exacerbate cancer‐related fatigue (CRF).
