The tilt table test is a noninvasive test that is used in patients with symptoms like lightheadedness, dizziness, or loss of consciousness (syncope). The test involves placing patients on a specialized table that is gradually tilted to an upright position while monitored to see if they develop any symptoms. Positive results may indicate some form of dysautonomia, which includes conditions like neurocardiogenic syncope and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. The test is considered relatively safe, but communication between patients and medical staff during the procedure is important. Treatment modalities for abnormal test results include conservative measures, like salting and hydration, and medications like beta-blockers.
