Deegan, B.M.T., et al. - Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is a common condition, which is defined as a reduction in systolic blood pressure of 20 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure of >=10 mmHg within 3 min of orthostatic stress. Utilizing total peripheral resistance (TPR) and cardiac output (CO) measurements during tilt-table testing (Modelflow method), we classified OH into three categories, namely arteriolar, venular, and mixed. The principle defect in arteriolar OH is impaired vasoconstriction after orthostatic stress, reflected by absence of the compensatory increase in TPR
