Changes in ANS, BP, and mHR Responses from Predosing (Test N) to Postdosing (Test N + 1), including Sympathetics (S), Parasympathetics (P), SB, Systolic BP (sBP), and Diastolic BP (dBP)a
ΔΔS | ΔΔP | ΔΔSB | ΔΔmHR | ΔΔsBP | ΔΔdBP | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Midodrine (− +) | 1.42** | −0.81 | 0.77 | −0.24 | 2.63** | 1.53* |
Midodrine (+ −) | −0.16* | −0.13 | 0.04* | 0.05 | −6.41* | −2.84* |
Midodrine (+ +) | 0.43 | −1.86* | 0.49 | −1.11 | 1.64* | 0.02 |
The “ΔΔ” symbol indicates that a change in the response is represented. For example, an abnormal stand response in a single test is a decrease in sympathetic activity as compared to the resting seated position. This response may then change and become normalized as an increase in sympathetic activity upon standing. As a result, the change in the response (ΔΔ) would be positive. Changes marked with an asterisk are significant (*P < 0.01 or **P < 0.001). See text for details.
