@ES The results of obtained are as follows:
@EN 1. The average systolic blood pressure of normotension group is 132.68±16.04mmHg at supine position. The average diastolic blood pressure of normotension group is 80.72±9.82mmHg at supine position. The average systolic blood pressure of
hypertension position. The average diastolic blood pressure of hypertension group is 93.74±15.53mmHg at supine position.
2. There is no significant difference of blood pressure after three different procedures as mentioned above from supine to standing upright.
3. The prevalence of postural hypotension at standing upright is 13.5% which is 18.8% of the hypertension group and 9.4% of the normotension group. The is statistical difference of the prevalence of postural hypotension between hypertension
