Preparation for the Tilt Table Test

If you faint during the test, it is considered "positive" for vasovagal or neurocardiogenic syncope. Your doctor will be notified of the results. You can discuss with him/her what the best treatment may be for you.

If you do not experience fainting during the test it is considered "negative" and you and your physician can discuss other tests you may need to undergo to determine the cause of your fainting.
