  • Values are expressed as means (SEM); BP=blood pressure; HR=heart rate.

  • Significant changes from resting value:

  • 1-150 p<0.05;

  • 1-160 p<0.001;

  • 1-165 p<0.0001.

  • Significant differences in baseline BP in NT-c compared with HT-c, uCAS, and bCAS:

  • 1-151 P<0.05.

  • Significant differences in BP change in HT-c during head-up tilt/standing compared with uCAS and bCAS:

  • 1-152 p<0.001;

  • 1-161 p<0.0001.

  • No significant BP/HR differences between uCAS and bCAS.
