Evaluating the timing of syncope and asystole during tilt table testing

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study investigates the relationship between the timing of loss of consciousness and the onset of asystole during a tilt table test in patients with reflex syncope. It aims to determine if the latency time can predict the effectiveness of pacemaker therapy in preventing syncope recurrences. The study will follow patients for two years and utilize a registry to collect data on their responses to invasive treatments. The hypothesis is that a vasodepressive component may hinder the efficacy of pacing, leading to continued syncope despite a stable heart rhythm.
