The aim of this study was the assessment of long-term repeatability of tilt-table test and parameters of heart rate variability analysis. Westminster protocol tilt-table test extended with nitroglycerin test was combined with analysis of heart rate variability. Five-minute intervals of ECG record were evaluated before and after the upright tilting, before syncope and 24-hour record was analysed.
