Abstrakt:	Initial orthostatic hypotension (OH) is a clinical syndrome with a transient drop in blood pressure upon standing (by definition > 40 mmHg systolic or > 20 mmHg diastolic within 15 sec after standing up from supine position) [[1]]. The other side of the coin is that individuals in whom the orthostatic blood pressure reductions take more time to recover to normal (referred to as delayed recovery) are in fact frailer than those in whom blood pressure recovers quickly (i.e., those with initial OH). Saedon et al. showed that the time required to "up-and-go" was longer in individuals with delayed recovery (classic OH or a combination of initial and classic OH) as compared to those with initial OH alone who had a rapid recovery of blood pressure.
