What is the tilt table test for the elderly?

According to a study published in the *American Journal of Cardiology*, a significant percentage of elderly patients over 65 years with unexplained syncope, or fainting, can have a positive tilt table test result. The tilt table test is a diagnostic procedure used to investigate recurrent lightheadedness, dizziness, and fainting in older adults by monitoring their cardiovascular response to changes in body position.
