Implication
Supports considering postprandial BP monitoring in nursing-home residents; extends reproducibility data but leaves medication effects for prospective study.
Structured PICO
Are postprandial and orthostatic blood pressure changes reproducible and affected by chronic cardiovascular medications in older nursing-home patients?
P
Population
Older nursing-home patients
I
Intervention
Chronic use of cardiovascular (potentially hypotensive) medications
O
Outcome
Intraindividual reproducibility of postprandial and orthostatic systolic blood pressure changessurrogate
In older nursing-home patients, postprandial and orthostatic blood pressure changes are reproducible, distinct phenomena that appear unaffected by chronic use of potentially hypotensive medications.
