So many papers show this....supine HTN -> nocturnal polyuria (pressure natriuresis) -> morning orthostatic intolerance (hypovolemia)...ironic that permissive HTN may make OH worse! Nocturnal polyuria is common in Parkinson’s and is associated with OH sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

My next steps for cuffless BP: (1) Validation protocol for accuracy/precision (controlled settings) (2) Identify patterns in non-controlled settings (with no gold standard); evaluate association w/ outcomes (long-term studies) (3) Trials treating patterns to prevent outcomes

Check out this trial published some years ago: The PREVER-Prevention Randomized Clinical Trial Shows value in treating of treating adults age 30-70 with SBP of 120-139/80-89 after 3 months of attempted lifestyle. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC52…

Intriguing analysis showing treatment of adults w/ OH does not cause more OH & prevents CVD. journals.plos.org/plosone/articl… We have a potential mechanism for this in an abstract submitted to AHA Science Hypertension Scientific Sessions in Baltimore Sept '25. Excited to discuss more!

Stephen Juraschek MD, PhD, FAHA, AHSCP-CHS Looks great & very interested to see how they progress. Thanks for highlighting Stephen! Many like to assign the falls to the antihypertensives but it is actually lack of balance & resistance training😞
