Cerebral oxygenation responses to standing in elderly patients with predominantly diastolic dysfunction

Patients with left ventricular dysfunction may have different orthostatic responses of blood pressure (BP) and cerebral oxygenation than healthy elderly subjects. We investigated orthostatic changes in systemic haemodynamic variables and cerebral …

Reproducibility of orthostatic changes in cerebral oxygenation in healthy subjects aged 70 years or older

In the elderly, standing can frequently be accompanied by blood pressure (BP) changes and cerebral symptoms such as dizziness, fall, or even syncope, but this may vary from day-to-day. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the reproducibility of …
