TL;DR
Assessment of dizziness on standing appears to be more important than measurement of postural blood pressure change in ascertaining functional status and risk of falls and syncope in elderly individuals.
Abstract
Assessment of dizziness on standing appears to be more important than measurement of postural blood pressure change in ascertaining functional status and risk of falls and syncope in elderly individuals. Future prospective studies of postural dizziness are needed to confirm its value as a predictor of clinical outcomes.
