Systemic and cerebral circulatory adjustment within the first 60  s after active standing: An integrative physiological view

Transient cardiovascular and cerebrovascular responses within the first minute of active standing provide the means to assess autonomic, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular regulation using a real-world everyday stimulus. Traditionally, these responses have been used to detect autonomic dysfunction, and to identify the hemodynamic correlates of patient symptoms and attributable causes of (pre)syncope and falls.This review addresses the physiology of systemic and cerebrovascular adjustment within the first 60  s after active standing.
