Abstract:
Objective To explore the relationship between the hemodynamic changes in head-up tilt test(HUTT) and the height,body quality and body mass index in children.Methods We choosed 1906 cases of unexplained syncope,headache,dizziness in children who came from Children Syncope Outpatient in the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from Jan.2000 to Aug.2012,Male 964 cases and female 942 cases.Their ages were 2 to 17.92 years old.The average age was 10.84 ± 2.97 years old.The height and body mass in children was measured,BMI was calculated.After obtain written informed consent subjects or guardian,the HUTT was carried.According to the result of HUTT and reaction type,the children were divided into HUTT negative group,orthostatic tachycardia syndrome(POTS) group,vasovagal syncope (VVS) vascular inhibitory type group,VVS heart inhibited type group,the VVS mixed group.Results Compared to the HUTT negative group,the age increased in POTS group and VVS vascular inhibitory group and VVS mixed group(P ＜ 0.05),height and body quality and body surface area increased in POTS group and VVS vascular inhibitory group and VVS mixed group(P ＜ 0.01).Compared to POTS group,body quality and body surface area reduced in VVS vascular inhibitory group and VVS mixed group(P ＜ 0.05).VVS heart inhibitory group was no statistically significant difference compared with the other groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion There is a certain relationship between the hemodynamic changes in HUTT and the height,body quality and BMI in children.
