  • Title: Head-upright tilt table testing for children with vasovagal syncope.
    Author: Haq NU, Heydarian M.
    Journal: W V Med J; 1997; 93(1):371-3. PubMed ID: 9123941.
    Abstract:
    Vasovagal (neurocardiogenic) syncope is the most common type of syncope in the pediatric population. An extensive and expensive workup is not indicated in patients with a consistent history. By reproducing the effects of gravitational stress, tilt table testing confirms the diagnosis and avoids unnecessary and often unrewarding investigations.
