Diagnostic Tests
A tilt-table test is meant to assess the heart rhythm of those patients who often undergo fainting spells. It is as simple, inexpensive, and low risk procedure. However, the test is not recommended to those patients with a tendency to faint due to heart disease.
When we talk of congenital anomalies and birth defects, heart malformation are the most common amongst them and account to almost one of every 100 births globally. Of these, almost 25% of them are fatal. Many a times paediatricians fail to recognize and miss out on diagnosing these defects, as the new born heart and lungs function normally and continue to mature for a few initial days.
