Tilt and Valsalva responses may differentiate autonomic profiles in labile versus fixed hypertension; leaves open clinical utility pending prospective validation.
Do hemodynamic responses to autonomic reflexes differ between patients with labile and fixed essential hypertension?
Upright tilt and the Valsalva maneuver differentiate autonomic reflex responses between labile and fixed hypertension better than the sustained handgrip test.
Chrysant et al. (1981) studied this question.
