Tilt-table testing: down but not out
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 up to 37% of cases remaining unexplained [1]...

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 کاملTilt table testing in patients referred from an epilepsy clinic
OBJECTIVE To assess the role of head up tilt testing (HUT) in diagnosing probable or possible vasovagal syncope (VVS) in patients referred from an epilepsy clinic. METHODS One hundred thirty two patients underwent HUT over 36 months. Complete data were available on 128 patients (52 male) aged 14-80 (mean 36.7) years. The main indication for HUT (head up tilt at 70 degrees for 45 minutes) was ...
متن کاملTilt table testing and implantable loop recorders for syncope.
This article summarizes the major contributions of tilt table tests and implantable loop recorders to the diagnosis of syncope and provides simple recommendations for these tests. Tilt table tests have provided important benefits in the field of neurally mediated syncope. However, they have significant limitations. Implantable loop recorders also are proving very useful. They have identified 2 ...
