What is a Tilt-table Test?
Your doctor may order a tilt-table test to look for causes of fainting (syncope). In this test, you lie on a table with your legs straight. The table is then elevated at an angle so that your head is higher than your feet. You are kept in this position for several minutes to assess for the development of symptoms such as fainting or palpitations. Your response to the tilt- table test may enable your doctor to tailor therapy to treat your symptoms.
