Preclinical OH and OHT are poorly understood. The main objective was to investigate preclinical orthostatic abnormalities and their association with increased vascular stiffness in different age groups of adults. A specially designed head-up tilt test standardized for hydrostatic column height was used to detect them. Three age groups of clinically healthy subjects were examined. In the group of young adults up to 30 years old, a significant predominance of orthostatic normotension (ONT) and an insignificant number of subjects with preclinical OH and OHT were found. In the age group over 45 years, compared to the group under 30 years, there was a twofold decrease in the proportion of individuals with ONT and a significant increase with preclinical OH and OHT. In all age groups, there was a significant orthostatic increase in vascular stiffness (as measured by the brachial\u2013ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), which was recovered to the baseline level when returning to the supine position. Overall, subjects with preclinical OH and OHT had significantly higher baPWV values compared to those with ONT (p = 0.001 and p = 0.002, respectively), with all subjects having vascular stiffness values within normal age-related values.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics13203243","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,18]],"date-time":"2023-10-18T09:56:57Z","timestamp":1697623017000},"page":"3243","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Preclinical Orthostatic Abnormalities May Predict Early Increase in Vascular Stiffness in Different Age Groups: A Pilot Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9701-3072","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Victor N.","family":"Dorogovtsev","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal Research and Clinical Center of Intensive Care Medicine and Rehabilitology, 107031 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dmitry S.","family":"Yankevich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal Research and Clinical Center of Intensive Care Medicine and Rehabilitology, 107031 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrey E.","family":"Gaydashev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Problem Scientific Research Laboratory, Smolensk State Medical University, 214019 Smolensk, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1193-1287","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrey V.","family":"Martyushev-Poklad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal Research and Clinical Center of Intensive Care Medicine and Rehabilitology, 107031 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Julia A.","family":"Podolskaya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal Research and Clinical Center of Intensive Care Medicine and Rehabilitology, 107031 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5707-118X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ilya V.","family":"Borisov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal Research and Clinical Center of Intensive Care Medicine and Rehabilitology, 107031 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrey V.","family":"Grechko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal Research and Clinical Center of Intensive Care Medicine and Rehabilitology, 107031 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"426","DOI":"10.1111\/jch.13491","article-title":"Orthostatic hypertension: From pathophysiology to clinical applications and therapeutic considerations","volume":"21","author":"Magkas","year":"2019","journal-title":"J.
