Tilt Testing

Diagnosing unexplained fainting with precision and care.

Fainting—or syncope—can be frightening and disruptive, especially when the cause isn’t immediately clear. At Heart Rhythm Partners, we use Tilt Table Testing to safely and accurately evaluate the underlying reasons for unexplained fainting, dizziness, or lightheadedness. This simple, non-invasive procedure helps us understand how your heart rate and blood pressure respond to changes in position, providing critical insight into conditions like neurally mediated syncope, orthostatic hypotension, and other autonomic nervous system disorders.

What We Offer in Tilt Testing:

  • In-clinic tilt table test performed by experienced cardiovascular specialists.
  • Continuous monitoring of heart rhythm, blood pressure, and symptoms.
  • Identification of abnormal reflexes or blood pressure drops during positional changes.
  • Evaluation for conditions such as vasovagal syncope and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS).
  • Guidance on lifestyle changes, hydration strategies, and medications if needed.
  • Detailed diagnostic report with next steps for ongoing care.
  • Personalized care plans based on your test results and medical history.
  • Safe, monitored environment for a comfortable testing experience.

Why It Matters:

Fainting can result from many different causes—some harmless, others potentially serious. Tilt testing helps us pinpoint whether your symptoms are related to abnormal reflexes, low blood pressure, or heart rhythm changes. This leads to quicker diagnosis, targeted treatment, and peace of mind. It’s a valuable tool especially for those who experience unexplained fainting spells or episodes of lightheadedness without warning.
