Tilt test
The tilt test is commonly used for evaluation of orthostatic syndromes and dysautonomia. Tilt test evaluates autonomic system responses to orthostatic stress induced by having the patient lie flat on a special table that creates a change in posture from lying to standing while the patient is being monitored with ECG and a blood pressure monitor that measure continuous, beat to beat, non-invasively. Established tilt testing includes monitoring of heart rate and blood pressure; adding capnography and cerebral blood flow monitoring expands its diagnostic yield and allows assessing cerebral blood flow regulation. Our Laboratory Medicine team performs tilt test and explains each step beforehand.
This is a diagnostic service. Results are reviewed by your care team, who will explain what they mean for your treatment.
