Early Cerebral Hypoperfusion in Patients with Orthostatic Intolerance Without Tachycardia During Head-Up Tilt Test is Independent of Vasovagal Response

Background: Cerebral hypoperfusion before syncope has been shown in patients with chronic orthostatic intolerance (OI) without tachycardia, but it is unknown if an initial decrease of cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFv) could be related to the vasovagal response (VVR) to head-up tilt test (HUTT). Ob...

Objective: The objective of the study was to compare cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and autonomic variables during HUTT in OI patients with or without a VVR. Methods: We included 74 subjects (58% female, mean age 33 ± 12 years) who underwent a 30-min HUTT and were divided into three groups: OI with VVR positive (VVR+), OI without VVR negative (VVR−), and asymptomatic healthy subjects with negative HUTT (control group).

Systolic, diastolic, and mean CBFv were similar in VVR+ and VVR−, but both groups had lower CBFv than the control group.
