Who should get HUTT Head Upright Tilt Test done in Gurugram?

Gurugram's high-pressure corporate culture in Cyber City, Golf Course Road, and Udyog Vihar, combined with NCR's air pollution, an independent cardiac risk factor, sedentary work, and delivery-food diets, drives disproportionately high early cardiovascular risk in adults aged 30 to 45. Regular cardiac testing is recommended for patients on statin therapy (to confirm LDL has reached the treatment target), post-cardiac event patients (to monitor secondary prevention), people with type 2 diabetes (which doubles cardiovascular risk), and anyone with persistently elevated blood pressure.

What conditions can HUTT Head Upright Tilt Test help diagnose?

It helps diagnose vasovagal syncope, orthostatic hypotension, and POTS. Abnormal results can stem from dehydration, medications, autonomic disorders, or heart rhythm problems. A family history of unexplained fainting may prompt earlier testing.
