Question 10

Which of the following physiological changes is most directly responsible for the increased risk of postural hypotension in elderly patients due to autonomic neuropathy?

Accepted Answer

A. Decreased baroreceptor sensitivity leading to impaired heart rate response to blood pressure changes — Postural hypotension in elderly patients with autonomic neuropathy is primarily due to impaired baroreceptor reflexes, which fail to appropriately adjust heart rate and vascular tone in response to changes in posture. While arteriosclerosis (B) contributes to vascular stiffness, it does not directly cause the autonomic dysfunction. Left ventricular hypertrophy (C) and reduced renin-angiotensin-aldosterone activity (D) are less directly linked to the acute drop in blood pressure upon standing.

Answer

B. Increased peripheral vascular resistance due to arteriosclerosis

Answer

C. Reduced cardiac output secondary to left ventricular hypertrophy

Answer

D. Decreased plasma renin and aldosterone levels leading to sodium and water retention
