Methodology: Head Up Tilt Test registry was used as a data collection tool which consisted of gender, age, symptoms, number of episodes, results, baseline blood pressure systolic, baseline blood pressure diastolic, mean blood pressure, baseline heart rate. All patients from age 20-80 undergoing Head Up Tilt Test examination were included while patients already diagnosed with orthostatic hypotension, vasovagal syncope, and cardiac myopathy were excluded from the study. Results: Total 1587 individuals were enrolled in study, I1216 (76.6%) were males and 371 (23.4%) were females. The mean age of the study population was 45.63 ± 19 years.
