Study of gut blood flow in people with post-meal low blood pressure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses MRI to measure blood flow in the gut when you eat, to understand why some people get dizzy or lightheaded after meals. It compares people with postprandial hypotension to healthy volunteers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with postprandial hypotension (low blood pressure after eating) and have symptoms like dizziness or lightheadedness.
- You are a healthy volunteer willing to be matched by age, gender, and body size.
- You can pause your medications for 12 hours before the study (only if you are in the PPH group).
- You do not have any metal implants (like pacemakers or metal clips) that are unsafe for MRI.
- You have no other diseases that could affect blood flow to your gut, and you drink less than 14 alcoholic drinks per week.
