Haemodynamic Parameters Underlying the Relationship Between Sarcopenia and Blood Pressure Recovery on Standing
(2023)Background: Sarcopenia, delayed blood pressure (BP) recovery following standing, and orthostatic hypotension (OH) pose significant clinical challenges associated with ageing. While prior studies have established a link ... -
Haemodynamic stroke and transient ischaemic attack secondary to neurocardiovascular instability
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Medicine. Discipline of Medical Gerontology, 2014)Introduction: Presyncope or syncope are regarded as benign conditions. In patients with severe large artery disease, hypotension may potentiate infarction, specifically in low-flow vulnerable, borderzone regions of the ... -
Halloysite- and Montmorillonite-Loaded Scaffolds as Enhancers of Chronic Wound Healing
