Underlying hemodynamic differences are associated with responses to tilt testing

Abstract Aim of this study was to explore whether differences in resting hemodynamic parameters may be associated with tilt test results in unexplained syncope. We analyzed age, gender, systolic (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and heart rate (HR) by merging three large databases of patients co...

We analyzed age, gender, systolic (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and heart rate (HR) by merging three large databases of patients considered likely to be of vasovagal reflex etiology, comparing patients who had tilt-induced reflex response with those who did not. Tilt-induced reflex response was defined as spontaneous symptom reproduction with characteristic hypotension and bradycardia.

Tilt-positive (n = 3129, 60%) vs tilt-negative patients had lower SBP (127.2 ± 17.9 vs 129.7 ± 18.0 mmHg, p < 0.001), DBP (76.2 ± 11.5 vs 77.7 ± 11.7 mmHg, p < 0.001) and HR (68.0 ± 11.5 vs 70.5 ± 12.5 bpm, p < 0.001). In multivariable analyses, tilt-test positivity was independently associated with younger age (Odds ratio (OR) per 10 years:1.04; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.01–1.07, p = 0.014), SBP ≤ 128 mmHg (OR:1.27; 95%CI, 1.11–1.44, p < 0.001), HR ≤ 69 bpm (OR:1.32; 95%CI, 1.17–1.50, p < 0.001), and absence of hypertension (OR:1.58; 95%CI, 1.38–1.81, p < 0.001).
