Postspaceflight orthostatic hypotension occurs mostly in women and is predicted by low vascular resistance.
About 20% of astronauts suffer postspaceflight presyncope. We studied pre- to postflight (5- to 16-day missions) cardiovascular responses to standing in 35 astronauts to determine differences between 1) men and women and 2) presyncopal and nonpresyncopal groups. The groups were presyncopal women, presyncopal men, and nonpresyncopal men based on their ability to stand for 10 min postflight. Pref...

متن کاملOrthostatic hypotension and cardiovascular risk.
Orthostatic hypotension (OH) results from a failure of neural and circulatory mechanisms to compensate for the reduction in venous return that normally occurs on assuming the upright posture. 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 ...
متن کاملOrthostatic hypotension in aging humans.
We tested the hypothesis that hypotension occurred in older adults at the onset of orthostatic challenge as a result of vagal dysfunction. Responses of heart rate (HR) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) were compared between 10 healthy older and younger adults during onset and sustained lower body negative pressure (LBNP). A younger group was also assessed after blockade of the parasympathetic ne...
