The study sought to determine the duration of standing needed to detect most cases of orthostatic hypotension (OH) in the emergency room (ER) and to correlate OH with symptoms, hospitalization and survival. Patients attending a tertiary-center ER within a 2-month period underwent orthostatic tests after 1, 3 and 5 min of standing. OH was defined as a drop of > or = 20 mmHg in systolic pressure or > or = 10 mmHg in diastolic pressure on assuming an upright posture.
