Sex differences in the autonomic and cerebrovascular responses to upright tilt

The objectives of this study were to concurrently investigate autonomic control and cerebrovascular resistance indices, including critical closing pressure (CrCP) and resistance area product (RAP), during upright tilt in men and women. In 13 women and 14 men (18 –29 years), ECG, non-invasive blood pressure, middle cerebral artery blood velocity, and end-tidal CO2 (ETCO2) were continuously measured during supine rest and 70° tilt.
