Understanding how your nervous system affects your heart.
Your autonomic nervous system controls vital functions like heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing—without you even thinking about it. When this system doesn’t work properly, it can cause symptoms like fainting, dizziness, palpitations, or sudden drops in blood pressure. At Heart Rhythm Partners, our Autonomic Function Testing helps identify problems with this system and guides accurate diagnosis and treatment for conditions like dysautonomia, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), and neurocardiogenic syncope.
What We Offer in Autonomic Function Testing:
Deep Insight
Reveals hidden dysfunction in the nervous system that affects the heart.
Non-Invasive Approach
Safe, outpatient procedure without the need for medication or surgery.
Personalized Plans
Test results guide treatment for lasting symptom relief and better stability.
Why It Matters:
Autonomic dysfunction is often overlooked, misdiagnosed, or mistaken for anxiety or simple fatigue. Yet, for many patients, it’s the key reason behind chronic symptoms like lightheadedness, fainting, and rapid heartbeat. By testing how your body responds to controlled stressors, we gain deep insight into your autonomic regulation and can develop a focused treatment plan to restore balance and improve quality of life.
