Technical planning includes the programâs plan for technical reviews and audits (see DAG sections 4.2.8. through 4.2.17.). It should also account for resources (skilled workforce, support equipment/tools, facilities, etc.) necessary to develop, test, produce, deploy, and sustain the system.
Three follow-up visits were conducted, as well as annual telephone interviews and active surveillance of hospitalizations and death. Five percent of the subjects (603 of them) were diagnosed with a rapid drop in blood pressure when going from lying down to standing up. The authors defined orthostatic hypotension as a 20 mmHg or greater drop in systolic blood pressure or a dip of at least 10 mmHg in diastolic pressure. Those who had a history or symptoms of atrial fibrillation at baseline were excluded from the study.
Your heart is a pump. In the upright position, the heart has to pump uphill because your head is located at a higher level than your heart. When lying down, your heart and your head are at the same level. Your heart does not need to pump as hard so your blood pressure is lower. By medical convention, blood pressure is measured in the sitting position. Calculations of blood pressure are standardized to this position.
