Exaggerated blood pressure elevation in response to orthostatic challenge, a post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC) after hospitalization

CONCLUSIONS: This prospective evaluation in patients with PASC revealed abnormal blood pressure rise during the orthostatic challenge, suggesting of autonomic dysfunction in a third of the studied subjects. Our findings support the hypothesis that EOPR/OHT may be a phenotype of neurogenic hypertension. Hypertension in PASC patients may adversely affect the cardiovascular burden in the world.PMID:37137186 | PMC:PMC10121145 | DOI:10.1016/j.autneu.2023.103094
