A member asked:

Can a tilt-table test plus the adrenaline shot cause problems to patients with pulmonary hypertension?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

TTT Pulm HTN: A TTT assesses how your BP/HR responds to standing. Adrenaline is normally released in response to standing to raise the HR. It could have a vaso constrictor effect on pulmonary circulation. Guazzi MD, De Cesare N, Fiorentini C, et al. Pulmonary vascular supersensitivity to catecholamines in systemic high blood pressure. J Am Coll Cardiol. 1986;8(5):1137-1144. doi:10.1016/S0735-1097(86)80393=
