Upright Tilt Test - What it is
The upright tilt test is used to detect recurrent syncope (fainting) of unknown origin. A common form of syncope is called a simple faint or vasovagal syncope, i.e. fainting due to abnormally sensitive reflexes in the cardiovascular system during prolonged standing or when subjected to unpleasant stimuli.
Although this form of faints may appear alarming, they are rarely life-threatening. The test requires you to be tilted in an upright position to simulate a situation of prolonged standing and you will be continuously monitored to see if this will reproduce the symptoms of recurrent fainting.
