17
Q

The impaired ability of the circulatory system to adjust to the upright position. Occurs due to decreased venous return from LE, decreased filling of the LV, decreased cardiac output, leading to decreased cerebral perfusion and dizziness or syncope / fainting spells.

A

Postural / orthostatic hypotension

Additional: Adaptation to upright posture is completely lost after 3 weeks of being bedridden. Retraining would take around 20-72 days.
