Serial upright tilt testing has been advocated as a possible therapeutic end point in treating patients with recurrent syncope, but the reproducibility of such testing has not been well-established in the absence of therapy. In 21 patients with recurrent syncope and a symptomatic response to upright tilt testing, tilt was repeated following a 25- to 30-minute recovery. Syncope or presyncope was reproduced in 14 of 21 patients on repeat tilt; 4 of 21 patients experienced milder symptoms, and 3 of 21 patients remained entirely asymptomatic on repeat tilt. The pattern of physiologic response was different during initial and repeat tilt in 7 of the 21 patients. Blood pressure and heart rate (before and during symptoms) were similar for the group on initial and repeat tilt. The abnormal physiologic response and associated symptoms elicited during upright tilt testing for unexplained syncope can be reproduced on immediate repeat tilt testing in most patients. However, the frequently attenuated response during repeat testing may limit its use as a therapeutic end point in individual patients.
