Background: Conflicting results have been published considering the diagnostic performance of head-up tilt test (HUTT) in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). We aimed to conduct a meta-analysis to evaluate the diagnostic value of HUTT in the evaluation of unexplained syncope in patients with HCM.
Methods: We performed a structured systematic database search using the following keywords: hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, syncope, unexplained syncope, head-up tilt test, tilt table test, tilt testing, orthostatic stress, autonomic function, autonomic response.
