Washington DC [USA] July 3 (ANI): A study found that a rapid drop in blood pressure, also known as orthostatic hypotension, could lead to undiagnosed cardiovascular disease.
A team of Beth researchers The Israeli medical center Deaconess badyzed data on participants aged between 45 and 64 years old. These participants were followed for cardiovascular events and mortality until December 2015.
Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is a frequently encountered clinical sign that occurs in a standing position.
"Although there is controversy surrounding the badociation between OH and cardiovascular disease, our findings were unequivocal and consistent," said researcher Stephen Juraschek
" These findings strongly support our hypothesis that OH is an important factor.Clinicians should be aware of the possibility that undiagnosed CVD may be present in adults with OH before the start of treatment. of treatments for OH, such as increased sodium intake or the stop of blood pressure medications have the potential to worsen blood pressure control and the risk of MCV.
The results appeared in the Journal of the American Heart Association. (ANI)
