In patients with vasovagal syndrome, head-up tilt testing may reproduce symptoms generally associated with vasodepression. Recent research suggests ATP testing identifies patients with abnormal vagal cardiac inhibition. This preliminary study examined the joint contribution of both tests in identifying underlying mechanisms in the general population with vasovagal syndrome.
