Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In the present study the investigators evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of passive tilt test in athletes, as well as their haemodynamic responses and autonomic nervous system activity during head-up tilt. Moreover, the investigators try to apply a novel algorithm for the improvement of diagnostic yield of tilt test in athletes.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

We examine athletes with a history of reflex syncope and athletes without history of reflex syncope.All subjects undergo a tilt test, for the evaluation of haemodynamics, heart rate variability (HRV) and baroreflex sensitivity.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

History of reflex syncope

Passive tilt test in athletes with a history of reflex syncope

Group Type OTHER

Passive tilt test

Intervention Type OTHER

Passive tilt test (without pharmacological provocation). After a horizontal supine rest period of 5 min, the tilt table was inclined at 60° head-up position for 30 min. A positive response was defined according to the European Society of Cardiology guidelines for the diagnosis and management of syncope

No history of reflex syncope

Passive tilt test in athletes without history of reflex syncope

Group Type OTHER

Passive tilt test

Intervention Type OTHER

Passive tilt test (without pharmacological provocation). After a horizontal supine rest period of 5 min, the tilt table was inclined at 60° head-up position for 30 min. A positive response was defined according to the European Society of Cardiology guidelines for the diagnosis and management of syncope
