Nitrate-Potentiated Head-Up Tilt Testing in Older Patients: Outcomes, Hemodynamic Responses and Prodrome Recognition
Conclusions: The rate of VVS induced by nitroglycerine-potentiated HUT is similar in elderly and younger patients. In the former, nitroglycerine-potentiated HUT significantly increases the prevalence of prodromes in comparison with spontaneous episodes, which suggests that it may be useful not only for diagnosis but also for patient counseling.
