Tilt Table Test (Head up Tilt Table Test)

Fainting and dizziness, palpitations occur due to multiple reasons. It is important to rule out heart or brain disorders as the cause. We perform thorough review of these symptoms in a systemic manner.

 

One of the common causes of fainting or dizziness is some dysfunction of blood pressure and heart rate control system (Autonomic nervous system) of the body. Tilt Table Test is a valuable tool that attempts to simulate a faint in a monitored environment with the aim of understanding the mechanism of the symptom.
