mednut83 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 What is the differential dx for someone who has a proper elevation of HR during exercise, but then drops when they squat down (not valsalva) or lay down, only to rise again when standing up?

crossbone2007 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 That is normal physiologic response as far as I'm aware. It has to do with difference in pressure and redistribution of fluid in the body. It's more complicated than that but it's normal. Maybe someone else can chime in Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mednut83 Posted January 22, 2017 Author Share Posted January 22, 2017 Does that directly correlate to heart rate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
