Neurohumoral mechanisms associated with orthostasis: Reaffirmation of the significant contribution of the heart rate response
The inability to compensate for acute central hypovolemia underlies the clinical development of orthostatic hypotension and instability (e.g., syncope). Although neuro-humoral control of both cardiac output and peripheral vascular resistance contributes to hemodynamic stability during orthostasis, a...
