Arterial sampling may better reflect sympatho-adrenal activity during orthostasis than venous; leaves open whether this refines clinical assessment.
Does arterial sampling provide a better indicator of sympatho-adrenal activity during orthostasis compared to venous sampling in healthy men?
Arterial concentrations of adrenaline are a better indicator of sympatho-adrenal activity during orthostasis than peripheral venous concentrations.
Kjeldsen et al. (1986) studied this question.
