The Clinical Utility of Qualitative Electroencephalography during Tilt Table Testing – a Retrospective Study

Head-up tilt table testing (HUT) is often performed to aid in the diagnosis of patients with unexplained syncope (Task Force for the Diagnosis and Management of Syncope et al., 2009) or other disorders of orthostatic intolerance, such as orthostatic hypotension (OH) or postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) (Freeman, 2008). It may also be performed to help rule out other diagnoses such as epileptic seizures, which can be difficult to differentiate from convulsive syncope, or myoclonus associated with syncope.
