Reproducibility of tilt-table test with different dosages of sublingual nitroglycerin [PDF]
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.

Heart rate recovery and diastolic blood pressure ratio on the treadmill test predict an induction and recurrence of vasovagal syncope [PDF]
Background/Aims The induction and recurrence of syncope is a concerning situation that could be unpredicted in the vasovagal syncope (VVS). We investigated a simple predictor for the induced and recurrent VVS during Head-Up table-tilt Test (HUT) and ...

Misperception of Body Weight After Childhood Cancer
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.
