The tilt table test (TTT) has been consistently employed as a supplementary diagnostic tool for syncope evaluation. However, TTT requires specialized equipment, which is lacking in several emergency room and clinic environments. We hypothesized that patients susceptible to NMS may have higher parasympathetic tone. Thus, this study investigates the correlation between PR interval and Herat rate variability parameters as indicators of parasympathetic tone and TTT results.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We included 213 patients referred to our cardiology clinic with an impression of NMS in 2022 and 2023.
