We examined whether the altered orthostatic tolerance following 14 days of head-down tilt bed rest (HDBR) was related to inadequate sympathetic outflow or to excessive reductions in cardiac output during a 10- to 15-min head-up tilt (HUT) test. Heart rate, blood pressure (BP, Finapres), muscle
BACKGROUND
Early mobilization is important for postoperative recovery but is limited by orthostatic intolerance (OI) with a prevalence of 50% 6 h after major surgery. The pathophysiology of postoperative OI is assumed to include hypovolemia besides dysregulation of vasomotor tone. Stroke
Orthostatic intolerance occurs commonly after spaceflight, and important aspects of the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We studied 14 individuals supine and standing before and after three space shuttle missions of 9-14 days. After spaceflight, 9 of the 14 (64%) crew members could not complete
OBJECTIVE
Orthostatic intolerance is more prevalent in women. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the physiological responses of orthostatic tolerant and intolerant females to progressive lower body negative pressure (LBNP) and to identify predictors of orthostatic
OBJECTIVE
To quantify the hemodynamic changes associated with orthostatic intolerance.
METHODS
The aortic flow, the cerebral and lower limb arterial flow and resistance, the flow redistribution between these two areas, and the femoral vein distension were assessed during two orthostatic tests
Idiopathic orthostatic intolerance syndrome is characterized by postural symptoms of cerebral hypoperfusion without arterial hypotension. Abnormal baroreceptor responses with deranged cerebral autoregulation leading to cerebral vasoconstriction have been proposed as a causative mechanism. The
To assess if propranolol influences orthostatic intolerance induced by prolonged bed rest (BR), a lower body negative pressure test (LBNP) and left ventricular (LV) echocardiography before and during -40mmHg of LBNP were performed with and without intravenous propranolol administration (0.04mg/kg)
To evaluate mechanisms of late orthostatic intolerance, slow fluid shifts along the body axis were studied during deconditioning by 24-h bed-rest and during 13-min upright tilts before and after this manoeuvre. In 11 healthy male subjects the fluid volumes of a thorax and a calf segment (impedance
OBJECTIVE
To investigate whether there is a difference in the neuro-autonomic and hemodynamic parameters in patients with postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) according to onset time of orthostatic tachycardia during the Head-up tilt (HUT) test.
METHODS
We retrospectively reviewed neuro-autonomic
One proposed method to overcome postflight orthostatic intolerance is for astronauts to undergo inflight centrifugation. Cardiovascular responses were compared between centrifuge and gravitational conditions using a seven-compartment cardiovascular model. Vascular resistance, heart rate, and stroke
To test whether acute volume expansion can normalize orthostatic intolerance and autonomic tone after prolonged bed rest (BR), 23 men were subjected to 20 days BR. Left ventricular (LV) echocardiography was performed during the lower body negative pressure (LBNP) test before and after BR with and
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to noninvasively define the hemodynamic profile characterizing the early response to tilting.
BACKGROUND
The mechanisms causing orthostatic intolerance have not been fully elucidated. Usually, patients undergoing tilt test are studied in a time-consuming way.
OBJECTIVE
Orthostatic intolerance (OI) syndromes are a confusing topic and determining a specific diagnosis to achieve optimal treatment can be troublesome. We sought to assess biomarker, hemodynamic and autonomic variables in OI patients (autonomic dysfunction [AD], postural orthostatic tachycardia
Cardiovascular deconditioning apparently progresses with flight duration, resulting in a greater incidence of orthostatic intolerance following long-duration missions. Therefore, we anticipated that the proportion of astronauts who could not complete an orthostatic tilt test (OTT) would be higher on
OBJECTIVE
The incidence of postflight orthostatic intolerance after short-duration spaceflight is about 20%. However, the incidence after long-duration spaceflight was unknown. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that orthostatic intolerance is more severe after long-duration than
