Heart Rate Variability and Orthostatic Hypotension in Stroke Patients Evaluated by Intelligent Biosensor System

Changhua Christian Hospital

Overview

This research investigated the heart rate variability (HRV) and stroke patients' orthostatic hypotension in hospitalized stroke patients accompanied with dizziness at varied tilting angle controlled by tilting table with intelligent biosensor.

Stroke patients readily accompany with the occurrence of orthostatic hypotension. To earlier predict patients occurring dizziness during the tilt table test, this study utilized a self-developed integrated intelligent biosensor system to assist clinical staff efficiently and immediately assessing stroke patients with orthostatic hypotension. Further purposes were to survey the relationship between the orthostatic hypotension and heart rate variability (HRV) and find the predicted models of orthostatic hypotension.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Change of Heart Rate Variability (HRV)

measure subject's HRV, every 3 mins during the Tilt table test

Time frame: Baseline: before Tilt table test, resting position, measure HRV with 3 minutes interval, totally 7 HRVs were measured
