Why the study?
Does acute orthostatic hypotension affect cerebral autoregulatory capacity in elderly normotensive and previously treated hypertensive subjects?
Does acute orthostatic hypotension affect cerebral autoregulatory capacity in elderly normotensive and previously treated hypertensive subjects?
Elderly individuals, regardless of treated hypertension status, maintain cerebral autoregulation during acute orthostatic hypotension.
Preserved autoregulation during orthostatic hypotension in elderly; hypothesis-generating and leaves open clinical implications pending larger studies.
Despite reduced CO(2) reactivity, elderly normotensive and previously treated hypertensive subjects retain cerebral autoregulatory capacity in response to acute orthostatic hypotension.
