2. Orthostatic hypotension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthostatic_hypotension

   Initial orthostatic hypotension is frequently characterized by a systolic blood pressure decrease of ≥40 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure decrease of ≥20 mmHg within 15 seconds of standing. [32] Blood pressure then spontaneously and rapidly returns to normal, so the period of hypotension and symptoms is short (<30 s). [ 32 ]

3. Orthostatic syncope - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthostatic_syncope

   Orthostatic syncope refers to syncope resulting from a postural decrease in blood pressure, termed orthostatic hypotension. [1]Orthostatic hypotension occurs when there is a persistent reduction in blood pressure of at least 20mmHg systolic or 10mmHg diastolic within three minutes of standing or being upright to 60 degrees on the head-up tilt table.

4. List of medical symptoms - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_medical_symptoms

   [1] [2] Patients observe these symptoms and seek medical advice from healthcare professionals. Because most people are not diagnostically trained or knowledgeable, they typically describe their symptoms in layman's terms, rather than using specific medical terminology. This list is not exhaustive.

5. Hypotension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypotension

   Hypotension, also known as low blood pressure, is a cardiovascular condition characterized by abnormally reduced blood pressure. [1] Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps out blood [2] and is indicated by two numbers, the systolic blood pressure (the top number) and the diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number), which are the ...

6. Pulse pressure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse_pressure

   Pulse pressure is calculated as the difference between the systolic blood pressure and the diastolic blood pressure. [3] [4]The systemic pulse pressure is approximately proportional to stroke volume, or the amount of blood ejected from the left ventricle during systole (pump action) and inversely proportional to the compliance (similar to elasticity) of the aorta.

7. Compression stockings - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_stockings

   The graduated (gradient, graded) compression stockings and anti-embolism compression stockings come in knee-high and thigh-high length. [20] A meta-analysis by Sajid et al. was done to compare knee-high and thigh-high graded compression stockings in regards of deep vein thrombosis prevention in medical and surgical patients. [ 21 ]
