Slowing down in recovery patterns of systolic blood pressure (SBP) after active standing. Lines show Cox proportional hazards ratios for all-cause mortality, unadjusted and adjusted for age, gender, body mass index, co-morbidity, SBP, diastolic BP (DBP), heart rate, and drug use (N = 238). Mortality is lower in the group with 95% recovery to baseline SBP in less than 1 min after standing (N = 95), compared to the group with 80–95% recovery (N = 98), and the slow (<80%) recovery group (N = 45), (p < 0.05) (Lagro et al., 2012, 2014).
