BACKGROUND: Orthostatic intolerance patients' pathophysiological mechanism is
still obscure, contributing to the difficulty in their clinical management.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate hemodynamic changes during tilt test in individuals
with orthostatic intolerance symptoms, including syncope or near syncope.
METHODS: Sixty-one patients who underwent tilt test at - 70° in the phase without
vasodilators were divided into two groups. For data analysis, only the first 20
minutes of tilting were considered. Group I was made up of 33 patients who had an
increase of total peripheral vascular resistance (TPVR) during orthostatic
position; and Group II was made up of 28 patients with a decrease in TPVR
(characterizing insufficient peripheral vascular resistance). The control group
consisted of 24 healthy asymptomatic individuals. Hemodynamic parameters were
obtained by a non-invasive hemodynamic monitor in three different moments (supine
position, tilt 10' and tilt 20') adjusted for age. RESULTS: In the supine
position, systolic volume (SV) was significantly reduced in both Group II and I
in comparison to the control group, respectively (66.4 ±14.9 ml vs. 81.8±14.8 ml
vs. 101.5±24.2 ml; p<0.05). TPVR, however, was higher in Group II in comparison
to Group I and controls, respectively (1750.5± 442 dyne.s/cm5 vs.1424±404
dyne.s/cm5 vs. 974.4±230 dyne.s/cm5; p<0.05). In the orthostatic position, at
10', there was repetition of findings, with lower absolute values of SV compared
to controls (64.1±14.0 ml vs 65.5±11.3 ml vs 82.8±15.6 ml; p<0.05). TPVR, on the
other hand, showed a relative drop in Group II, in comparison to Group I.
CONCLUSION: Reduced SV was consistently observed in the groups of patients with
orthostatic intolerance in comparison to the control group. Two different
responses to tilt test were observed: one group with elevated TPVR and another
with a relative drop in TPVR, possibly suggesting a more severe failure of
compensation mechanisms.
