Sympathetic Overactivation From Supine to Upright Is Associated With Orthostatic Hypertension in Children and Adolescents.

ABSTRACT: There are no prior publications or submissions with any overlapping information, including studies and patients. The study data have not been presented as an abstract or poster before the submission. Objectives: The study was conducted to analyze the changes of baroreflex sensitivity and heart rate variability from supine to upright standing in children and adolescents with orthostatic hypertension to explore whether and how the autonomic nerve regulation was involved in the development of pediatric orthostatic hypertension. Methods: This case-control study included twenty-five children with orthostatic hypertension (the patient group) and twenty-six healthy controls (the control group). All subjects underwent a standing test, during which their hemodynamic parameters were continuously mon
