A three minutes supine position test reveals higher risk of spinal anesthesia induced hypotension during cesarean delivery. An observational study. [version 1; referees: 2 approved] [PDF]
Background: Cesarean delivery is performed under spinal anesthesia, and vasodilation is the main cause for a drop in blood pressure. The compression of the aorta and inferior vena cava by the gravid uterus is of additional clinical importance ...

Hemodynamic changes in women with symptoms of supine hypotensive syndrome
AbstractIntroductionSupine positioning during late pregnancy causes the gravid uterus to compress the inferior vena cava, resulting in dramatic hemodynamic changes. The maintenance of placental perfusion requires maternal circulatory and autonomic adaptations.

Cardiovascular Autonomic Neuropathy in Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease: A Genotype-Stratified Study of PMP22 Duplication and GJB1 Mutation Carriers. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Data on cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) are sparse in Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease. We aimed to determine the prevalence of CAN in CMT1A and CMTX1 and its associations with neuropathy severity and heart rate variability (HRV), compared with age‐ and sex‐matched controls. Methods Thirty‐six CMT1A, 24 CMTX1 patients,

Multimodal Monitoring of Cardiovascular Responses to Postural Changes
BackgroundIn the poorly understood relationship between orthostatic hypotension and falls, next to blood pressure (BP), baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) and cerebral autoregulation (CAR) may be key measures.

Aim:Maternal hypotension after spinal anesthesia is the most common complication. We aimed to compare the haemodynamic effects of patient positions (supine or tilt) applied to avoid spontaneous hypotension in elective cesarean sections performed in our ...
