متن کاملTilt-table testing of patients with pacemaker and recurrent syncope
The diagnosis of recurrent syncope in patients with pacemakers (PM) is quite challenging and the etiology of syncope is often multifactorial. To portray the mechanism of syncope in PM patients, we report the results of head-up tilt table testing (HUT) in a series of patients with PM, originally implanted for reasons other than neurally mediated syncope, referred due to syncope or pre-syncope (a...
متن کاملPediatric Cardiology Tilt Table Test in Children with Unexplained Syncope
Background: Neurocardiogenic syncope is well known as the most frequent cause of syncope in childhood.

Although many reports have reported on children associated with neurocardiogenic syncope, the relationship between the clinical characteristics of those patients and the results of the HUTT rem...
متن کاملUtility of upright tilt-table testing in the evaluation and management of syncope of unknown origin.
PURPOSE Vasovagally mediated hypotension and bradycardia are believed to be common, but difficult to diagnose, causes of syncope. Upright tilt-table testing has been proposed as a possible way to test for vasovagal episodes. This study investigated the clinical utility of this technique in the evaluation and management of patients with syncope of unknown origin. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty-fi...
