Excerpt

Many factors influence the outcome of head-up tilt (HUT) test leading to wide variability in sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility of this investigation [1]. Here, we report on an unexpectedly increased proportion of positive HUT test results associated with a change in Autonomic laboratory site and use of a new tilt table. …
