Eight elderly patients with postural hypotension who presented with transient ischaemic attacks are reported. Six patients underwent head-up tilt testing with continuous blood pressure monitoring. During tilt, postural hypotension was found in five patients and in three patients transient ischaemic attacks were reproduced. Postural hypotension is probably a rare cause of transient ischaemic attacks, but may be underrecognized.
报告了8例患有体位性低血压并伴有短暂性脑缺血发作的老年患者。6例患者接受了头高位倾斜试验并持续监测血压。在倾斜过程中，5例患者出现体位性低血压，3例患者再现了短暂性脑缺血发作。体位性低血压可能是短暂性脑缺血发作的罕见原因，但可能未得到充分认识。
