Diagnostic yield of nitroglycerin-potentiated head-up tilt test in a pediatric population with suspected reflex syncope
NTG-potentiated HUTT showed a high positivity rate, good sensitivity, and specificity in pediatric patients with suspected reflex syncope. Some patients and syncope-related features independently correlated with HUTT positivity. Cardioinhibitory response was more prevalent in pediatric patients with a non-classical presentation of reflex syncope.
