Does orthostatic hypotension predict vascular and nonvascular death in home-dwelling elderly persons aged 70 years or older?
Does orthostatic hypotension predict vascular and nonvascular death in home-dwelling elderly persons aged 70 years or older?
Diastolic orthostatic hypotension at 1 minute and systolic orthostatic hypotension at 3 minutes after standing up independently predict vascular death in older home-dwelling persons.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Orthostatic hypotension at 1 and 3 minutes was associated with vascular death in older adults; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective confirmation before clinical adoption.
Luukinen et al. (1999) studied this question.
