Blood pressure changes upon standing reflect a hemodynamic response, which depends on the baroreflex system and euvolemia. Dysautonomia and fluctuations in blood volume are hallmarks in kidney failure requiring replacement therapy. Orthostatic hypotension has been associated with mortality in hemodialysis patients, but neither this relationship nor the impact of changes in blood pressure has been tested in patients on peritoneal dialysis. We investigated both these relationships in a cohort of 137 PD patients. The response to orthostasis was assessed according to a standardized protocol. Twenty-five patients (18%) had systolic orthostatic hypotension, and 17 patients (12%) had diastolic hypotension. The magnitude of systolic and diastolic BP changes was inversely related to the value of the corresponding supine BP component (r = −0.16, p = 0.056 (systolic) and r = −0.25, p = 0.003 (diastolic), respectively). Orthostatic changes in diastolic, but not in systolic, BP were linearly related to the death risk (HR (1 mmHg reduction): 1.04, 95% CI 1.01–1.07, p = 0.006), and this was also true for CV death (HR: 1.08, 95% CI 1.03–1.12, p = 0.001). The strength of this association was not affected by further data adjustment (p ≤ 0.05). These findings suggest that independent of the formal diagnosis of orthostatic hypotension, even minor orthostatic reductions in diastolic BP bear an excess death risk in this population.

Background: Hypertension trials that monitor orthostatic hypotension (OH) compare standing to seated blood pressure (BP) rather than supine BP. We determined the impact of a supine vs seated position on OH prevalence and its relationship with fall risk and orthostatic symptoms. Methods: The Study to Understand Fall Reduction and Vitamin D in You (STURDY) was a randomized trial testing the effects of vitamin D3 dose on falls in adults age ≥70 years at higher risk of falls. OH was determined at baseline, 3, 12, and 24 months with each of 2 protocols: (1) seated to standing and (2) supine to standing. OH was defined as a drop in systolic or diastolic BP of at least 20 or 10 mm Hg. Participants were asked about orthostatic symptoms in the past month. Falls were ascertained via daily fall calendar, ad hoc reporting, and scheduled interviews. Results: Among 522 participants with 953 OH assessments (mean age 76 ± 5 years, 42% women, 18% Black), mean baseline BP was 129 ± 18/68 ± 11 mm Hg. Mean BP increased 3.4/2.6 mm Hg after sitting, but decreased -3.7/-0.7 mm Hg after being supine. OH was detected in 2.2% of seated vs 14.8% of supine assessments. Supine OH better predicted falls (HR 1.60; 95% CI: 0.98, 2.61; P =0.06) than seated OH (HR 0.70; 95% CI: 0.30, 1.60; P =0.39), although both were non-significant ( Figure ). While seated OH was not associated with orthostatic symptoms, supine OH was associated with a greater risk of fainting, blacking out, seeing spots, room spinning, and headache in the prior month ( P -values of 0.048 to 0.002). Conclusions: Supine OH was more prevalent and appeared to better predict falls and orthostatic symptoms than seated OH. These findings support a supine protocol for OH in clinical practice.

Abstract Older adults with sarcopenia may be at risk for unstable postural blood pressure due to diminished lean mass that plays a role in maintaining fluid volume. Males have greater lean mass, so risk may be mediated by gender. We compared postural blood pressure changes in older men (77.1 ± 2.0 years; n = 15) and women (79.6 ± 2.0 years; n = 13) with sarcopenia before and after an overnight fast. Sarcopenia was defined using the Lean Mass Index (males ≤ 19.0 kg/m2; females ≤ 15.0 kg/m2). Body composition was measured using multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance, and blood pressure was measured lying, sitting, and standing. On Day 1 (normally hydrated) there were significant drops in systolic blood pressure, with an overall decrease of -9.1 ± 2.2 mmHg (p < 0.001) between lying and standing. On Day 2 (overnight fast), postural changes were more profound, with an overall decrease of -14.1 ± 2.8 mmHg (p < 0.001). However, when compared by gender, postural changes between lying and standing remained significant but did not differ between men and women (Day 1: men -8.9 ± 2.5 vs. women -9.3 ± 2.5 mmHg; Day 2: men -14.6 ± 4.6 vs. women -13.6 ± 3.1 mmHg). On both days diastolic blood pressure remained stable. In this group of older adults, significant decreases in postural systolic blood pressure were observed in the early morning fasted condition, increasing the risk for orthostatic hypotension (drop in systolic blood pressure -20.0 mmHg). Interestingly, gender did not influence risk.

Our aim was to determine the impact of targeted blood pressure modifications on cerebral blood flow in ischemic moyamoya disease patients assessed by single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). From March to September 2018, we prospectively collected data of 154 moyamoya disease patients and selected 40 patients with ischemic moyamoya disease. All patients underwent in-hospital blood pressure monitoring to determine the mean arterial pressure baseline values. The study cohort was subdivided into two subgroups: (1) Group A or relative high blood pressure (RHBP) with an induced mean arterial pressure 10–20% higher than baseline and (2) Group B or relative low blood pressure (RLBP) including patients with mean arterial pressure 10–20% lower than baseline. All patients underwent initial SPECT study on admission-day, and on the following day, every subgroup underwent a second SPECT study under their respective targeted blood pressure values. In general, RHBP patients showed an increment in perfusion of 10.13% (SD 2.94%), whereas RLBP patients showed a reduction of perfusion of 12.19% (SD 2.68%). Cerebral blood flow of moyamoya disease patients is susceptible to small blood pressure changes, and cerebral autoregulation might be affected due to short dynamic blood pressure modifications.
