Why the study?
Does early orthostatic hypotension assessment (within 1 minute of standing) predict dizziness and long-term adverse outcomes better than later assessment in middle-aged adults?
Does early orthostatic hypotension assessment (within 1 minute of standing) predict dizziness and long-term adverse outcomes better than later assessment in middle-aged adults?
Orthostatic hypotension measurements performed within 1 minute of standing are more strongly associated with dizziness and long-term adverse outcomes than later measurements, challenging current guidelines that recommend assessment at 3 minutes.
