Hi. I am one of the Co-Community Leaders of the Dysautonomia Community here on MedHelp. Our community frequently gets questions regarding finding certain types of specialists and testing facilities; we tend to have a more difficult time making suggestions for pediatric patients as that isn't where most of us have experience. I'm hoping you can answer a few questions about your hospital for us.
Do you have a syncope clinic, cardiologists who sub-specialize in syncope, and/or an autonomic clinic which works closely with cardiology on syncope/dysautonomia cases?
Do you offer tilt table tests (with or without plasma norepinephrine levels? both standing and sitting or just the former?), blood volume determination, hemodynamic testing, TST, QSART, QST, etc.?
One concern that comes up frequently in our community is for parents of children with ANS issues who are geographically close to Vanderbilt, but learn that their autonomic clinic only accepts patients aged 18 and up. We are always looking for pediatric hospitals in various areas of the country that might have similarly specialized facilities or doctors.
