  • Title: [No strong evidence of disturbed regulation of blood pressure in chronic fatigue syndrome].
    Author: Smit AA, Bolweg NM, Lenders JW, Wieling W.
    Journal: Ned Tijdschr Geneeskd; 1998 Mar 21; 142(12):625-8. PubMed ID: 9623125.
    Abstract:
    Recent medical publications postulate a connection between the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and disturbed regulation of the circulation, manifesting itself during orthostatic stress testing. Four studies were published on the circulatory response on prolonged head up tilt testing. Numerous CFS patients displayed postural tachycardia or syncope during the test. However, many CFS patients examined had had orthostatic symptoms prior to the examination. It is not certain that cardiovascular dysregulation is present in CFS patients without orthostatic symptoms. It is also not clear whether such a dysregulation would be the effect of physical inactivity or a manifestation of a subtle form of autonomic neuropathy.
