Key result
Arterial stiffness (baPWV) was significantly associated with the occurrence of orthostatic hypotension among high-altitude Tibetans (OR 1.147; 95% CI 1.028-1.280; P=0.014).
Why the study?
The study aimed to investigate whether arterial stiffness is associated with orthostatic hypotension and orthostatic blood pressure changes among Tibetans living at high altitude.
Is arterial stiffness associated with orthostatic hypotension and orthostatic blood pressure changes among high-altitude Tibetans?
Cross-Sectional (n=630)
Is arterial stiffness associated with orthostatic hypotension and orthostatic blood pressure changes among high-altitude Tibetans?
Odds Ratio: 1.147 (95% CI 1.028–1.28)
p-value: p=0.014
Arterial stiffness is significantly associated with orthostatic hypotension and impaired hemodynamic response to orthostatic challenges among high-altitude Tibetans.

Arterial stiffness may link to orthostatic hypotension in high-altitude Tibetans; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective studies before any clinical consideration.
Li et al. (2020) conducted a cross-sectional in Orthostatic hypotension (n=630). Arterial stiffness (assessed by baPWV) was evaluated on Occurrence of orthostatic hypotension (OH) (OR 1.147, 95% CI 1.028-1.280, p=0.014). Arterial stiffness (baPWV) was significantly associated with the occurrence of orthostatic hypotension among high-altitude Tibetans (OR 1.147; 95% CI 1.028-1.280; P=0.014).
