Content: Although having a positive tilt test can give a diagnosis of neurogenic syncope, a negative test doesn’t rule the diagnosis out. Another problem with tilt tests is that the results recorded don’t correlate with clinical outcomes. For example, just because the heart rate may go low in the tilt test, doesn’t mean that a low heart rate is causing the syncopal event. This makes it hard to prescribe therapies based on the test findings. Tilt table tests should be used with care, and not be the sole basis for treatment decisions. 4.46/5 (89)
