Forty-nine patients had positive results of tilt studies and received therapy.Of these 40 patients,36 returned for second tilt studies while they were taking medication and 30 had negative results.Six patients had medication changes and had negative results of followup tilt studies.No symptoms were noted on followup in the 24 patients who presented with syncope and who had positive results of tilt tests that responded to therapy.Of those 35 patients presenting with syncope who had negative results of initial tilt studies and who did not receive any therapy, syncope recurred in four patients.Three of 10 patients contracted who presented with syncope and had negative results of tilt studies reported symptoms.Tilt table testing is an excellent tool for diagnosing neurocardiogenic syncope in adults and in determining effective therapy in patients presenting with syncope of unknown origin. |
