Tilt Table Test & CT Coronary Angiography

Tilt Table Test & CT Coronary Angiography

A Tilt Table Test is a diagnostic procedure used to evaluate unexplained fainting (syncope) and dizziness by assessing how blood pressure and heart rate respond to changes in position.

Indications: Recommended for patients experiencing recurrent fainting, dizziness, or suspected autonomic dysfunction.
Procedure:

  • The patient lies on a special motorized table.

  • The table is gradually tilted to an upright position while monitoring heart rate, blood pressure, and symptoms.
    Purpose: Helps diagnose vasovagal syncope, orthostatic hypotension, and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS).
    Benefits: A non-invasive, safe, and effective test to pinpoint causes of fainting episodes and guide appropriate treatment.

CT Coronary Angiography (CTCA)

A CT Coronary Angiography (CTCA) is a highly advanced, non-invasive imaging test used to detect blockages in coronary arteries and assess heart disease risk.

Indications: Suitable for patients with chest pain, suspected coronary artery disease (CAD), or high cardiovascular risk factors.
Procedure:

  • A contrast dye is injected into the bloodstream.

  • A high-resolution CT scanner captures detailed 3D images of the coronary arteries.
    Purpose: Identifies narrowed or blocked arteries, calcium deposits, and heart structure abnormalities.
    Benefits:

  • Early detection of heart disease before symptoms worsen.

  • Guides treatment decisions, including lifestyle changes, medication, or intervention (angioplasty or bypass surgery).
