What is a tilt table test and why is it performed during the investigation of syncope?

British journal of hospital medicine, 2021
Falls are one of the most common reasons for patients to present to the emergency department. Syncope is a common cause of falls, which disproportionately affects older people.

Repolarization disparity as a predictor of response to Head up Tilt‐table Test in pediatric syncope

Pacing and clinical electrophysiology : PACE, 2021
Head up Tilt‐table Test (HUTT) is a practical examination of the most common type of pediatrics syncope. The electrocardiographic (ECG) changes during this test, show the autonomic defects that cause neuraly‐mediated syncope in response to tilting ...

Tilt table testing in obesity

International Journal of Cardiology, 2003
An imbalance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems has been indicated in obesity. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the results of tilt table testing (TT) in obese patients.59 patients with simple obesity (F/M: 50/9; BMI: 36.9+/-3.9 kg/m(2)), and 19 healthy subjects of the control group (F/M: 16/3; BMI: 24.7+/-4.3 kg/m ...

Tilt table testing for syncope and collapse

Herzschrittmachertherapie + Elektrophysiologie, 2018
Head-up tilt (HUT) has long been used to examine heart rate and blood pressure adaptation to changes in position. During such studies, incidental observations noted that some test subjects experienced total or near-total transient loss of consciousness and that, in some cases, hypotension was associated with unexpected marked bradycardia compatible ...

Tilt Table Testing: Concepts and Limitations

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, 1997
Recurrent unexplained syncope is a common and often frustrating clinical problem. Over the last decade, bead upright tilt table testing bas emerged as an important diagnostic metbod far the identification of individuals whose syncope is likely to be neurocardiogenic in origin.

Tilt Table Testing

1998
Pathophysiological studies of tilt table aided orthostatic stress on humans were fifty years old before the evolution of head-upright tilt table testing into the diagnostic test of choice in vasovagal syncope. Variations in orthostatic tolerance demonstrated by tilt table testing were observed in normal subjects1,2 and in association with pregnancy,3 ...

Is there a place for tilt-table testing?

International Journal of Cardiology, 1995
logical study discussed above, but with recurrent syncope thought clinically to be of cardiac origin, empirical pacing offers good relief of symptoms. These data were obtained before the advent of tilttable testing which has been shown to be useful in investigating syncope of unknown origin and may have clarified the diagnosis in some cases, although ...

Near-infrared Spectroscopy to Assess Cerebral Perfusion during Head-up Tilt-table Test in Patients with Syncope.

Congenital Heart Disease, 2015
OBJECTIVE Neurocardiogenic syncope (NCS) is the most common cause of syncope in children and adolescents. Neurocardiogenic syncope occurs secondary to cerebral hypotension because of bradycardia, hypotension, or both.
