Tilt table evaluation
A number of heart conditions can cause syncope, or fainting. The tilt table test can assist in determining the cause. Lying on a tilt table, the patient is moved from a flat to a standing position while blood pressure, heart rate, heart rhythm and patient symptoms are monitored. Changes in blood pressure, heart rate and the presence of symptoms can help to establish the cause of syncope or determine if further testing is needed.
