Age significantly impacts the haemodynamic pattern of TT responses, starting from the age of 50. Conversely, TT phase-passive or TNG-potentiated-does not significantly influence the type of response, when age-adjusted. Vagal hyperactivity dominates in younger patients, older patients show tendency to vasodepression.
