Postprandial hypotension in patients with compression of the celiac trunk

Abstract One of the causes of the development of postprandial hypotension is thought to be impaired vegetative nervous regulation of arterial pressure. Patients with the syndrome of the celiac trunk compression also have signs of dysautonomy. The investigation performed has shown that syndrome of the celiac trunk compression is often combined with postprandial hypotension. Patients with such combination much more often have complains associated with asthenia and dysfunction of the autonomous nervous system. After operative treatment of patients with the celiac trunk compression (decompression of the celiac trunk) the frequency of symptoms of postprandial hypotension and clinical manifestations of asthenia and dysautonomy become less often in such patients.
