Blood pressure during supine exercise in idiopathic orthostatic hypotension.
IDIOPATHIC orthostatie hypotension is characterized by an excessive fall in arterial blood pressure on standing and by other manifestations of an extensive loss of autonomic nervous function. In the present study the arterial blood pressure was measured in seven patients with orthostatic hypotension during the performance of mild leg exercise in the supine position. The finding of a pronounced ...

OH is defined as a fall in systolic blood pressure of 20 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure of 10 mm Hg measured within 3 minutes of standing.1 OH can result from side effects of medications, intravascular ...

We then propose and assess various modifications to the doctrine that might allow it to avoid the classical objections. We call these Psy...
متن کاملOrthostatic Hypotension: Mechanisms, Causes, Management
Orthostatic hypotension (OH) occurs when mechanisms for the regulation of orthostatic BP control fails. Such regulation depends on the baroreflexes, normal blood volume, and defenses against excessive venous pooling. OH is common in the elderly and is associated with an increase in mortality rate. There are many causes of OH. Aging coupled with diseases such as diabetes and Parkinson's disease ...
