Head Up Tilt Test

The Head-Up Tilt Test, also known as the tilt table test, is a medical procedure used to evaluate and diagnose the cause of fainting spells or episodes of unexplained loss of consciousness. It is primarily conducted to assess orthostatic hypotension, a condition characterized by a sudden drop in blood pressure upon standing up.
During the tilt table test, the patient is secured to a special table that can be tilted to different angles, ranging from a horizontal position to an upright position of about 60 to 80 degrees. The table is equipped with safety straps to prevent the patient from falling. The patient's heart rate, blood pressure, and other vital signs are continuously monitored throughout the procedure
