Official Title: CO2 Rebreathing to Increase Blood Pressure in Neurogenic Orthostatic Hypotension: A Proof-of-Concept Pilot Study
Brief Summary:
Neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH) is a chronic condition associated with increased cardiovascular risk and reduced quality of life.On standing, patients with nOH experience a large reduction in blood pressure (BP; at least ?20/10mmHg, but often much more), which is often accompanied by debilitating symptoms and syncope.A previous study (unpublished) showed that hypercapnia significantly increases standing BP in patients with nOH.Human bodies naturally produce and exhale CO2.Rebreathe devices offer a…
