    Journal: Aust Fam Physician; 1994 Oct; 23(10):1945, 1948-9. PubMed ID: 7818395.
    Abstract:
    An air force anti-gravity suit, as used by fighter pilots to prevent loss of consciousness, has been successfully employed to treat severe postural hypotension in a patient with Shy-Drager syndrome. The definition of postural hypotension is reviewed, and reference is made to the previous use of the anti-gravity suit in the treatment of this condition.
