Test-retest reliability and four-week changes in cardiopulmonary fitness in stroke patients: evaluation using a robotics-assisted tilt table [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Exercise testing devices for evaluating cardiopulmonary fitness in patients with severe disability after stroke are lacking, but we have adapted a robotics-assisted tilt table (RATT) for cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET).

Comparison of peak cardiopulmonary performance parameters on a robotics-assisted tilt table, a cycle and a treadmill [PDF]
Robotics-assisted tilt table (RATT) technology provides body support, cyclical stepping movement and physiological loading. This technology can potentially be used to facilitate the estimation of peak cardiopulmonary performance parameters in patients ...

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

Investigation of robotics-assisted tilt table technology for cardiopulmonary exercise testing in stroke patients [PDF]
Due to the lack of exercise testing devices that can be employed in stroke patients with severe disability, the aim of this PhD research was to investigate the clinical feasibility of using a robotics-assisted tilt table (RATT) as a method for ...

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

Reproducibility of tilt-table test with different dosages of sublingual nitroglycerin
Reproducibility of tilt-table test potentiated with sublingual nitrate is significant since it is directly related to diagnostic accuracy of the test. Nitrates shorten the test time and increase the sensitivity of the test.

Diagnostic value of the tilt-table test for the assessment of syncope in children and adolescents
OBJECTIVE - To assess the diagnostic value, the characteristics, and feasibility of tilt-table testing in children and adolescents. METHODS - From August 1991 to June 1997, we retrospectively assessed 94 patients under the age of 18 years who had a ...

Cooccurrence of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome with Two Different Clinical Entities
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,
