Head Up-Tilt Test (HUTT)
The progressive cardiac department at Aster hospitals, Bangalore provides all the latest diagnostics for heart patients including the well known head-up tilt test, also known as the passive head-up tilt test (HUTT).
HUTT is a non-invasive test recommended by the cardiologist that measures the heart rate and blood pressure each minute while the patient is tilted on the table at varying levels.
