During the test, the patient is exposed to orthostatic stress, which may be exaggerated during the negative-passive phase of the test by nitroglycerin, clomipramine, and isoprenaline administration.
Correlation of tilt-table–induced findings to patients’ clinical presentation is critically important to prevent consequences of false-positive results from tilt-table testing. The utility of tilt-table testing is highest in patients with a suspected VVS when syncope is recurrent.
Tilt-table testing can be useful for patients with syncope and suspected delayed OH when initial evaluation is not diagnostic. IIa: B-NR: Tilt-table testing is reasonable to distinguish convulsive syncope from epilepsy in selected patients. IIa: B-NR: Tilt-table testing is reasonable to establish a diagnosis of pseudosyncope. III: No Benefit: B-R
