Development of a method for assessing orthostatic hypotension in individuals with stroke
- Conditions
- Stroke
- Registration Number
- JPRN-UMIN000042152
- Lead Sponsor
- Shinshu University
- Brief Summary
During the head-up tilt test, eight and three participants showed systolic and diastolic orthostatic hypotension, respectively. The receiver operator characteristic curve analyses revealed that the optimal cut-points for orthostatic hypotension using the sit-up test were a decrease of 10 mmHg in systolic blood pressure (area under the curve = 0.915, sensitivity = 87.5%, specificity = 96.7%) and 5 mmHg in diastolic blood pressure (area under the curve = 0.938, sensitivity = 100.0%, specificity = 88.6%).
