Abstract
linear pattern at 1.6 ± 0.2 kcal/min. Systolic BP was greater and HR less (P<0.01 for both) with oral when compared with ID glucose. We conclude that ID glucose has greater effects on BP and HR than oral glucose, presumably reflecting the ‘protective' effect of gastric distension. Accordingly, the consumption of water before a meal may represent a simple approach to the management of postprandial hypotension. (1) Jones et al, 2001; J Am Geriatr Soc; 49:162-7.
