Why the study?
Does a sit-to-stand manoeuvre with specific blood pressure cut-offs accurately diagnose orthostatic hypotension compared to a standard supine-to-standing test in patients and healthy controls?
Does a sit-to-stand manoeuvre with specific blood pressure cut-offs accurately diagnose orthostatic hypotension compared to a standard supine-to-standing test in patients and healthy controls?
A sit-to-stand test with lower diagnostic cut-offs (SBP drop ≥15 mmHg or DBP drop ≥7 mmHg) is a valid and simple screening alternative to the standard supine-to-standing test for diagnosing orthostatic hypotension.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support sit-to-stand thresholds (SBP drop ≥15 mmHg or DBP ≥7 mmHg) for orthostatic hypotension screening; leaves open prospective validation before practice change.
