Abstract
This research is part of a larger program on the behavioral and psychological regulation of cardiovascular adjustments to postural change. The long-range objective is to develop methods for the behavioral management of patients with orthostatic hypotension. This paper describes methods developed for the continuous non-invasive tracking of systolic and diastolic blood pressure as well as heart rate during postural change — going from a sitting to a standing position, and the use of these methods in two studies of young, healthy, normotensive individuals. This first study shows the methods to be sensitive to blood pressure and heart rate differences in postural regulation as a function of family history of hypertension. The second shows that cardiovascular adjustments to postural change can be modified by voluntary control and biofeedback procedures. The research supports the role of the central nervous system in the regulation of basic circulatory reflexes.
