Abstract
Head-up tilt testing has been used to identify patients with syncope in whom hypotension with bradycardia is likely to develop [1]. The term “neurocardiogenic syncope” [2] is used to describe this abnormal response, previously termed vasovagal by Lewis [3]. In many patients the phenomenon of neurocardiogenic syncope is characterized by prodromal symptoms of yawning, nausea, sweating, warmth or dizziness, whereas in others loss of consciousness may be abrupt. Syncope may also be followed by fatigue which may last for hours in some instances. The role of head-up tilt testing in syncope is reviewed.
