Acarbose and Postprandial Hypotension To the Editor: We read with interest the article by Shibao et al,1 who reported that acute administration of acarbose had a substantial, beneficial effect on the hypotensive response to a high-carbohydrate meal in patients with autonomic failure. It was suggested that this effect is mediated, at least in part, by a reduction in the insulinemic response to a...
متن کاملAcarbose, an -Glucosidase Inhibitor, Attenuates Postprandial Hypotension in Autonomic Failure
Postprandial hypotension is an important clinical condition that predisposes to syncope, falls, angina, and cerebrovascular events. The magnitude of the fall in blood pressure after meals depends on enteric glucose availability. We hypothesized that acarbose, an -glucosidase inhibitor that decreases glucose absorption in the small intestine, would attenuate postprandial hypotension. Acarbose or...
متن کاملA Case of Postprandial Hypotension in the Intensive Care Unit Treated With Acarbose
Postprandial hypotension (PPH) has not been described as a cause of hypotension after the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in the intensive care unit (ICU). A 74 year old man underwent cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) due to monomorphic ventricular tachycardia. After the ROSC, inotropic agents were not reduced but increased. PPH had occurred, according to the flow sheet, so a provoca...

متن کاملCerebral ischemic attack caused by postprandial hypotension.
BACKGROUND Food ingestion sometimes induces systemic hypotension (postprandial hypotension). Although the possibility of stroke occurring postprandially has been suggested, no cases have been reported until now. CASE DESCRIPTION A 78-year-old man experienced repeated transient ischemic attacks after almost every ingestion of food and showed orthostatic and postprandial hypotension. An angiogr...
