Objectives

Narrative objectives1

This study aims to determine a cutoff value for identifying the presence or absence of orthostatic hypotension using the sit-up test.

Basic objectives2

Others

Basic objectives -Others

To conduct a subgroup analysis of participants with supine hypertension to evaluate the extent of systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure reduction during the sit-up test in those with orthostatic hypotension during the head-up tilt test.
To examine the associations of blood pressure dysregulation observed during the sit-up test and orthostatic hypotension detected during the head-up tilt test with demographic and clinical characteristics.

Other related information

Blood pressure changes will be compared between the sit-up test and the tilt test to determine a cutoff value for detecting orthostatic hypotension using the sit-up test.
A subgroup analysis will be conducted restricted to participants meeting criteria for supine hypertension, assessing the magnitude of systolic and diastolic blood pressure decline during the sit-up test among those classified as having orthostatic hypotension on the tilt test.
We will evaluated Tte associations of orthostatic hypotension, supine hypertension, and seated hypertension detected by the sit-up test as well as orthostatic hypotension detected by the tilt test with demographic and clinical characteristics
