The prevalence and pathological correlates of orthostatic hypotension and its subtypes when measured using beat-to-beat technology in a sample of older adults living in the community

Abstract

(i) beat-to-beat methods identify a higher prevalence of OH than sphygmomanometry, (ii) the pathological correlates of OH diagnosed in this manner are similar to those described for sphygmomanometry, (iii) there is a diverse pattern of orthostatic BP decay that could be used in future research to predict adverse outcomes in OH.
