  • Title: [Head-up tilt test--do we really know all about it?].
    Author: Plásek J, Doupal V, Hrabovská Z.
    Journal: Vnitr Lek; 2009 Oct; 55(10):955-60. PubMed ID: 19947240.
    Abstract:
    Head-up tilt test (HUTT) falls within the competence of functional cardiological examination. Most often it is being used for the diagnostical approach to possibly neurally-mediated syncope, less is known about the possibility of using tilt table test in the treatment of vasovagal syncope. The main goal of this article is to make clear the principles, appropriate indication, performance and subsumption of HUTT in the algorithm of syncope investigation. Moreover it will be marginally mentioned how HUTT can be used in predicting cardiovascular risk of patients with coronary artery disease.
