Tilted ECG - An unusual tilt test response
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tilt testing is a commonly used diagnostic tool to evaluate syncope of undetermined etiology. We hereby describe a twelve year old male child who developed presyncope during provocative head up tilt testing along with ST segment elevation in cardiac monitor during presyncope. Patient underwent repeat head up tilt testing along with holter monitoring which showed a left bundle branch block escape rhythm. Hence development of ST elevation was due to the improper filter application in single lead ECG monitor. This case highlights the importance of filters in electrocardiographic monitoring.

Comparison of short head-up tilt test with conventional protocol after omission of nonmedicated phase in children and young adults
BACKGROUND Syncope is an important and common clinical condition, and the neurally mediated syncope is the most frequent type of syncope. Tilt testing is considered as a first-line diagnostic test. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted the conventional and modified tilt test on 200 subjects in the age range of 5-20 years. In conventional protocol, the patient was tilted for up to 15 min without ...

AIMS To assess the diagnostic yield of the head-up tilt test and electrophysiology in different groups of patients with syncope of unknown origin established according to simple clinical criteria. METHODS AND RESULTS Six hundred consecutive patients with syncope of unknown origin submitted to a tilt test. Two hundred and forty seven of them also underwent electrophysiology. Patients were divi...
متن کاملUnusual sequences of tilted smectic phases in liquid crystals of bent-shape molecules.
The first theoretical description of the experimentally often-observed isotropic-polar smectic phase transitions of symmetric and asymmetric bent-shape molecules is presented. The isotropic-tilted polar smectic phase transition requires a coupling among three types of ordering processes: polar packing, director tilt, and layer ordering. For explaining the unusual triclinic-monoclinic phase tran...
متن کاملShubnikov-de Haas oscillations in high mobility GaAs quantum wells in tilted magnetic fields
We report on quantum magneto-oscillations in a high mobility GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well at very high (≥ 87◦) tilt angles. Unlike previous studies, we find that the spin and cyclotron splittings become equal over a continuous range of angles, but only near certain, angle-dependent filling factors. At high enough tilt angles, Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations reveal a prominent beating pattern, indica...
متن کاملCross-Modal Transfer of the Tilt Aftereffect From Vision to Touch
Visual input powerfully modulates the dynamics of tactile orientation perception. This study investigated the transfer of the tilt aftereffect (TAE) from vision to somatosensation. In a visual tilt adaptation paradigm, participants were exposed to clockwise or anticlockwise visual tilt, followed by three brief tactile two-point stimuli delivered on their forehead. In a two-alternative forced ch...
