Advanced diagnostic test to evaluate unexplained fainting and autonomic nervous system dysfunction.
The Head-Up Tilt Table Test (HUTT) is a non-invasive procedure designed to find the cause of unexplained fainting (syncope). It evaluates how your body regulates blood pressure and heart rate in response to changes in position. By monitoring your Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) response while the table tilts you from lying down to standing up, we can pinpoint conditions like vasovagal syncope or orthostatic hypotension.
You lie flat on a specialized table while safety straps are applied and heart monitors are connected.
The table slowly moves to an upright position (60-80 degrees) to simulate standing up.
Symptoms, blood pressure, and heart rate are monitored for any irregular reactions.
Identifies the root cause of syncope (fainting) that other tests might miss.
Assesses the function of your Autonomic Nervous System and blood pressure regulation.
Performed in a safe, controlled medical environment with constant monitoring by specialists.
Helps diagnose orthostatic hypotension and other positional heart rate abnormalities.
