P. Baumgart et al., NONINVASIVE INTERMITTENT BP RECORDING FOR DIAGNOSIS OF ORTHOSTATIC BPDYSREGULATION, Nieren- und Hochdruckkrankheiten, 23(5), 1994, pp. 231-232
During orthostasis in 15 patients with vertigo and/or syncope BP decre
ases are more readily detected by noninvasive beat-to-beat BP recordin
g than by intermittent readings. In contrast there is only little vari
ance between the results of continuous and intermittent BP readings du
ring orthostasis in 15 asymptomatic controls. Hence diagnostic efficac
y of orthostatism tests for vertigo and/or syncope is increased by con
tinuous BP monitoring.
