TI  - Unique cutpoints for sitting-to-standing orthostatic vital signs.
PG  - 45-7
AB  - The study objective was to describe the distribution of normal changes in vital 
      signs related to moving from a sitting to a standing position. Subjects were free 
      of cardiovascular disease and determined to be euvolemic by structured interview. 
      Vital signs were measured after a minimum of 5 minutes of sitting and after 1 
      minute of standing. Among 176 subjects, mean differences in parameters (+/- 
      standard deviation) were as follows: pulse increase, 5.3 +/- 6.6 beats per minute 
      (bpm); systolic blood pressure (SBP) decrease, 1.2 +/- 9.8 mmHg; and shock index 
      (SI) increase, 0.05 +/- 0.07 bpm/mmHg. These changes are less extreme than those 
      previously published for changes from lying to standing. Unique tilt test 
      positivity criteria and their expected specificities are as follows: pulse 
      increase >/=20 bpm (0.98), SBP decrease >/=20 mmHg (0.97), SI increase >/=0.2 
      (0.99), ROSI >/=1.3 (0.95). Sitting-to-standing tilt tests require positivity 
      criteria distinct from those published for lying-to-standing tilt tests.
