Figure 4: Physical countermanoeuvres to increase blood pressure in patients with orthostatic hypotension.

Figure 4:

Red lines show the effects of crossing the legs, placing a foot on a chair, squatting when standing, and crossing the legs while seated on beat-to-beat arterial pressure measured at the finger in a middle-aged patient with pure autonomic failure and incapacitating neurogenic classic orthostatic hypotension. The arrows indicate the duration of the manoeuvres. Note the increase in blood pressure and pulse pressure. Blood pressure tracings are adapted from ref 84.
