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.

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.

[Clinical characteristics and treatment of 89 patients with head-up tilt table test induced syncope with convulsion].

Zhong nan da xue xue bao. Yi xue ban = Journal of Central South University. Medical sciences, 2013
OBJECTIVE To study the clinical features and intervention strategies of head-up tilt table test (HUTT) induced syncope triggering convulsion. METHODS HUTT was performed in 2377 cases (male 1116 cases and female 1261 cases) with syncope, dizziness ...

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.

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.

Risk factors for syncope recurrence after a positive tilt-table test in patients with syncope.

Circulation, 1996
BACKGROUND Recent work with head-up tilt-table testing has suggested that many patients with syncope may have recurrent neurally mediated episodes of bradycardia, hypotension, or both.

Atrioventricular Block During Upright Tilt Table Test

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, 2004
Patients with a cardioinhibitory response (asystole or atrioventricular block [AVB]) during upright tilt table test (UTT) constitute a therapeutic challenge. Our present knowledge is partial and in those who experience AVB is absent. Furthermore, we ignore if there is any difference between both groups, particularly pacemaker indication.

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 ...
