Elderly Blacks Have a Blunted Sympathetic Neural Responsiveness But Greater Pressor Response to Orthostasis Than Elderly Whites

Okada Y et al. – Elderly blacks have a blunted sympathetic neural responsiveness but enhanced pressor response to orthostasis compared with elderly whites, which may be attributable to an augmented sympathetic vascular transduction and/or nonadrenergic vasoconstrictor mechanisms.
