POTS, Neurally Mediated Hypotension & the Tilt Table Test (Tilt Test)

JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY - BALTIMORE, MD

OCTOBER 25, 2017

Dr. Jeffrey Brinker provides a comparison of various conditions that can cause fainting, including postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), neurally mediated hypotension and vasovagal syncope. He gives a great review of what the tilt table test can show and how it is used by doctors to diagnose or rule out conditions like POTS in patients suffering from symptoms related to dysautonomia. This lecture was given at the October 25th CSF Chapter meeting at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. (2017)
