When does a doctor order HUTT Head Upright Tilt Test?

HUTT Head Upright Tilt Test is often ordered alone or by cardiology and neurology clinics for patients with unexplained fainting or recurrent dizziness. Doctors request it when syncope, near‑syncope, or orthostatic symptoms occur.

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

Surat has a notable burden of premature cardiovascular disease, driven by a Gujarati diet high in sugar and fried farsaan, genetic predisposition to high cholesterol, and sedentary work among the business and diamond-trade community around Ghod Dod Road, Citylight, and Athwa. Adults above 35 in Surat , particularly those working in Adajan, Udhna, and other urban centres , should have cardiac markers tested annually even without symptoms. Smokers, people with high blood pressure, a sedentary desk job, BMI above 25, or a first-degree relative with a heart attack before 60 face elevated risk that annual testing actively manages.

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.

What do HUTT Head Upright Tilt Test results mean?

Optimal LDL targets depend on your risk category: below 130 mg/dL (low risk), below 100 mg/dL (intermediate), below 70 mg/dL (high risk , diabetes, previous cardiac event, or hypertension on treatment).
