Abstract

The circulation control in syncope has been studied in schoolchildren by means of the Kentavr computer system. The functional tilt table test has been used to study the response to orthostasis in healthy students (control) and adolescents with lipothymia. It is concluded that the passive orthostatic test is efficient for differential diagnosis of the type of faint and is important for comprehensive examination of schoolchildren.
