Why the study?
Does hypertension or previous myocardial infarction influence blood pressure and heart rate responses to changes in body position in 60-year-old men?
Does hypertension or previous myocardial infarction influence blood pressure and heart rate responses to changes in body position in 60-year-old men?
The attenuated blood pressure and heart rate response to standing in older individuals is an age-dependent characteristic, not explained by the higher prevalence of hypertension or previous myocardial infarction.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Attenuated postural BP/HR responses in older men appear age-dependent, independent of hypertension or prior MI; supports age-related physiology and leaves open other contributors.
Dag Elmfeldt Anna Hofsten (2000) studied this question.
