Diagnostic value of the head-up tilt test and the R-test in patients with syncope

Heart International, 2006
The diagnostic value of the head-up tilt test (HUTT) in discovering vasovagal syndrome depends on the pre-test probability. An accurate anamnesis and clinical examination screens the patients indicated for the HUTT.

How to Prevent Recurrence of Idiopathic Lead Migration: A Case Report and Discussion of Management [PDF]

J Arrhythm
Reverse ratchet syndrome is an extremely rare form of idiopathic lead migration. Firm fixation of the lead sleeve to the fascia is crucial to prevent recurrence; however, even with reinforced fixation, muscle motion or intrinsic sleeve design may limit the ability to prevent idiopathic lead migration.

Management of Postural Tachycardia Syndrome, Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia and Vasovagal Syncope [PDF]

Arrhythmia & Electrophysiology Review, 2016
Postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS), inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST) and vasovagal syncope (VVS) are relatively common clinical syndromes that are seen by physicians in several disciplines. They are often not well recognised and are poorly understood by physicians, are associated with significant morbidity and cause significant frustration for ...

Validation of the TruBlue Light Laser for Laryngeal Somatosensory and Perturbation Testing

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study validates a blue light laser method for assessing laryngeal somatosensory function by measuring perceptual thresholds, reflexive responses, discrimination acuity, and vocal perturbations in healthy adults. Results demonstrate that the method provides precise, reliable stimulation and yields quantifiable sensory and acoustic responses ...
