Abstract
Initial orthostatic hypotension is common in children. Isometric handgrip increases arterial pressure, central blood volume, cardiac output, and total peripheral resistance. We show that in 14 subjects with initial orthostatic hypotension, isometric handgrip coupled with standing abolished symptoms of initial orthostatic hypotension and minimized decreases in blood pressure and cardiac output with standing.
