Does the tilt test reproduce symptoms in pediatric patients with unexplained syncope?
The tilt test is an effective diagnostic tool that reproduces symptoms in 80% of teenage patients with unexplained syncope.
Thilenius et al. (1991) conducted an observational in Unexplained syncope (n=35). Passive head-up tilting (with or without isoproterenol) was evaluated on Reproduction of identical symptoms of syncope.
