Disease relevance of Tilt-Table Test

 

High impact information on Tilt-Table Test

  • SETTING: Two tertiary referral centers in the United States. PATIENTS: One hundred individuals aged 18 to 50 years who satisfied Centers for Disease Control and Prevention criteria for CFS and had NMH provoked during a 2-stage tilt-table test [6].
  • INTERVENTIONS--Each subject completed a symptom questionnaire and underwent a three-stage upright tilt-table test (stage 1, 45 minutes at 70 degrees tilt; stage 2, 15 minutes at 70 degrees tilt with 1 to 2 micrograms/min of isoproterenol; and stage 3, 10 minutes at 70 degrees with 3 to 4 micrograms/min of isoproterenol) [7].
  • All tilt-positive patients received therapy with either beta-blockers, disopyramide, transdermal scopolamine, or hydroflurocortisone, the efficacy of which was evaluated by another tilt-table test [8].
  • Unprovoked and glyceryl trinitrate-provoked head-up tilt table test is safe in older people: a review of 10 years' experience [9].
  • METHODS AND RESULTS: Thirty subjects who had reproducible NMS induced with head-up tilt table test (HUT) were randomly assigned and divided in double-blind fashion into placebo and enalapril (an ACE inhibitor) groups [10].

Gene context of Tilt-Table Test

  • METHODS AND RESULTS: Ten untreated consecutive LQTS patients (age 11-72 years, median 37.5 years, five males and five females from five different families (one KvLQT1 mutation, two HERG mutations in three families and one without established genetic background)) were examined by a head-up tilt-table test (HUT) [13].
