Abstract
Pathological orthostatic heart rate and systolic blood pressure responses are common in geriatric patients in long-term in-patient care. The distribution of these pathological types of response differs markedly from that of earlier investigated patients (2), with a higher prevalence of asympathicotonic and vasovagal responses and a lower prevalence of sympathicotonic responses in this material.
