Question:

Orthostatic hypertension is sometimes defined based on an unusual change in blood pressure after changing position. Suppose we define a normal range for change in systolic blood pressure (SBP) based on change in SBP from the recumbent to the standing position in Table 2.16 that is between the upper and lower decile. What should the normal range be? 


Table 2.16 Effect of position on blood pressure

Blood pressure (mm Hg) Standing, arm at heart level Recumbent, Participant am at side 99 79 B. R. A. 715 105 J. A. B. F.

aSystolic blood pressure
