Head-up tilt test – a rationale for using in diagnosis of syncope

Fainting and loss of consciousness (including syncope) are one of the most common causes of medical consultations. A detailed history is of particular importance in their diagnosis. It allows to select a group of patients with a high risk of life-threatening condition and to direct further interdisciplinary process with the participation of a cardiologist, neurologist, psychiatrist and psychologist. The head-up tilt test (HUTT) has a special place in the diagnosis of neurocardiogenic syncope. The main purpose of this review is to highlight the indications for HUTT and indicate situations in which it should be avoided due to the lack of added value of the applied therapy.
