Tilt-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 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 ...
متن کاملRecurrent vasovagal syncope: comparison between clomipramine and nitroglycerin as drug challenges during head-up tilt testing.
AIMS To compare the responses between clomipramine, a centrally acting substance, and nitroglycerin, with mainly peripheral action, when each drug is used during tilt test for the induction of vasovagal syncope (VVS). METHODS AND RESULTS Hundred patients with recurrent episodes of classical VVS underwent two tilt tests in a randomized sequence. One test included 20 min of tilt at 60 degrees w...

The pathophysiology of the vasopathophysiological effects of orthostatic stress vagal response is thus central to an understanding induced by head-up tilt table testing in humans of the role of tilting in its diagnosis. began more than 50 years ago,1 it was not until 1986 Although central, higher cortical provocation of that th...
متن کاملEfficacy of tilt training in patients with vasovagal syncope.
BACKGROUND Besides pharmacological therapy and pacemaker implantation, tilt training is a promising method of treatment in patients with vasovagal syncope (VVS). Tilt training is usually offered to patients with malignant or recurrent VVS which impairs their quality of life and carries a risk of injury. AIM To assess the efficacy of tilt training in patients with VVS. METHODS The study grou...
