Scientists probe why standing makes some People's blood pressure spike
NCT ID NCT03496792
Summary
This study aims to understand why some people's blood pressure rises when they stand up, a condition called orthostatic hypertension. Researchers will recruit 30 participants to test a theory that leg veins trigger a nerve reflex that increases blood pressure. They will use gentle suction on the legs and measure nerve activity to see if this reflex is stronger in people whose blood pressure goes up when standing.
