Is postprandial hypotension associated with an increased incidence of falls, syncope, coronary events, stroke, and total mortality in older nursing home residents?
Postprandial hypotension is a significant risk marker for adverse clinical outcomes, including falls, syncope, cardiovascular events, and mortality, in older nursing home residents.
A marked reduction in postprandial systolic blood pressure in older nursing home residents was associated at long-term follow-up with a higher incidence of falls, syncope, new coronary events, new stroke, and total mortality.
