Key result
Continuous non-invasive BP monitoring in ED patients with suspected syncope identified classic orthostatic hypotension in 19%, initial OH/delayed recovery in 20%, and reflex hypotension in 4%.

What is the frequency of abnormal orthostatic BP recovery patterns in patients with suspected (pre)syncope in the ED using continuous non-invasive BP monitoring?
Continuous non-invasive BP measurement in the ED can identify specific abnormal orthostatic BP recovery patterns in patients with suspected syncope, which may have different clinical implications.

May aid ED syncope characterization; leaves open effects on management and outcomes.
Wijnen et al. (2018) conducted a cohort in Suspected (pre)syncope (n=111). Continuous non-invasive BP monitoring during active lying-to-standing test was evaluated on Frequency of abnormal orthostatic BP recovery patterns. Continuous non-invasive BP monitoring in ED patients with suspected syncope identified classic orthostatic hypotension in 19%, initial OH/delayed recovery in 20%, and reflex hypotension in 4%.
