Tilt Table Testing

At The Heartbeat Clinic, we are committed to offering quality and reliable Tilt Table Testing services to help you assess and manage autonomic disorders, especially Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). We have modern equipment and skilled physicians dedicated to providing you with the best possible treatment and accurate results.

What do you understand about Tilt Table Testing?

Tilt Table Testing is a diagnostic technique that helps physicians understand how your body responds to changes in position—from lying down to standing up. This test is particularly important in diagnosing conditions like POTS, where patients may experience significant changes in heart rate and blood pressure upon standing.

Why is Tilt Table Testing Done?

Tilt Table Testing may be done to:

Diagnose the cause of fainting with no known cause
Evaluate orthostatic hypotension (significant drop in blood pressure upon standing)
Confirm Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)
Identify irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias)
Assess related symptoms such as dizziness and lightheadedness

What to Expect During Tilt Table Testing?:

Preparation

Before the test, our medical team will discuss the procedure with you during a consultation and address any concerns you may have. You might be advised to refrain from consuming certain foods or medications beforehand to ensure accurate results. It’s important to follow these instructions carefully to prepare properly for the test.

Procedure

During the test, you will lie on a special table designed to tilt you to different angles. As the table is gradually raised to an upright position, your electrocardiogram (EKG), blood pressure, and other vital signs will be continuously monitored. The test usually lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the specific protocol.

Monitoring

Throughout the procedure, our team will closely observe your responses. We will make any necessary adjustments to ensure your safety and comfort at all times. Your well-being is our top priority during the test.

After the Test

Once the test is complete, you can return to your regular activities immediately. Our specialists will explain the findings and discuss whether additional diagnostic procedures or treatments are needed based on the results.

What to Expect During Tilt Table Testing?:

A Tilt Table Test is a safe diagnostic test; however, certain risks are associated with the procedure, like any other medical process.

Potential risks include:

Low blood pressure

Fainting

Dizziness or unsteadiness

These symptoms normally fade away when the table returns to its flat position.

Results

The results of the Tilt Table Test help your healthcare provider understand how your body responds to positional changes. They can identify:

Positive Result

A fall in blood pressure, a significant increase in heart rate, and symptoms of fainting or dizziness during the test.

Negative Result

A negative result will indicate that the patient only experiences a slight rise in pulse rate, no drop in blood pressure, and no feeling of dizziness or fainting.
