Tilt table testing in neurology and clinical neurophysiology

Tilt table testing in neurology and clinical neurophysiology

Highlights • Tilt table testing helps to differentiate the forms of transient loss of consciousness (TLOC) and of syncope. • Tilt table testing adds to history taking, and cannot be used as its substitution. • Neurologists and clinical neurophysiologists can play an important role diagnosing syncope...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Tilt table testing helps to differentiate the forms of transient loss of consciousness (TLOC) and of syncope. • Tilt table testing adds to history taking, and cannot be used as its substitution. • Neurologists and clinical neurophysiologists can play an important role diagnosing syncope or other forms of TLOC, given their experience with extensive history taking.
