At Prime Heart Care, we use advanced diagnostic tests to evaluate unexplained fainting spells, dizziness, or blackouts. One such specialized test is the Head-Up Tilt Test (HUTT), which helps assess how your body and heart respond to changes in position.

The HUTT is a non-invasive test performed on a motorized table. You lie flat, and then the table is tilted upright at different angles while your heart rate, blood pressure, and symptoms are closely monitored.
It is mainly done to diagnose conditions like:
Vasovagal Syncope (common fainting spells)
Orthostatic Hypotension (sudden drop in blood pressure on standing)
Unexplained dizziness, blackouts, or fainting
Abnormal heart rhythm-related fainting episodes
