In addition, it addresses mechanisms of orthostatic tolerance and other orthostasis related conditions, as well as drugs, comorbidities and geriatric syndromes related to OH...The homeostatic ability to maintain blood pressure while standing requires an adequate blood volume and the integrity of the nervous system, heart, blood vessels and muscle pump. However, in older adults, some age-related factors can contribute to the development of OH. For example, decreased baroreflex sensitivity, α-1-adrenergic vasoconstrictor response to sympathetic stimuli, parasympathetic activity, renal salt and water conservation, increased vascular stiffness and decreased ventricular diastolic filling, as well as concentrated capacities of the kidney may be associated with changes in postural blood pressure. It has also been shown that OH is associated with falls, cardiac e | | 出版日期 | Book 2021 | | 关键词 | Orthostasis; Orthostatic intolerance; Postural hypotension; Nursing; Drugs; Aging; Syncope | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-62493-4 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-62495-8 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-62493-4 | | copyright | Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021 |
