Correlation research of the elderly postprandial hypotension and vascular endothelial function

Objective To investigate the correlation of the elderly postprandial hypotension and vascular endothelial function.Methods 270 cases of elderly postprandial hypotension in elderly outpatients of our hospital were as experimental group,120 cases of healthy were as control group.Correlation of the elderly postprandial hypotension with von willebrand factor(vwF) and fibrinogen(Fbg) was analyzed.Results Hypotension after breakfast were 120 cases,105 cases were in postprandial hypotension,hypotension after dinner were of 45 cases,expression of vwF and Fbg in the experimental group compared with the control group,all had a significant difference(P 0.05).The expression of vwF and Fbg with postprandial hypotension had positive correlation(r = 0.589,0.603,P 0.05).Conclusion The expression of vwF and Fbg in the elderly postprandial were significantly increased,the elderly postprandial hypotension with vwF and Fbg have positive correlation.This can provide new methods and basis for the treatment of elderly postprandial hypotension.
