Abstract
Older adults following recovery from ischemic stroke have a higher incidence of orthostatic hypotension, syncope, and fall risk, which may be related to impaired autonomic responses limiting the ability to maintain cerebral blood flow. Thus, we investigated cerebrovascular and cardiovascular regulation in 23 adults ≥55 years of age, 10 diagnosed with ischemic stroke, and 13 age-matched healthy controls when sitting at rest and upon standing to compare differences of autonomic variables at ∼7 months (218 ± 41 days) poststroke.Arterial blood pressure via finger plethysmography, muscle-pump baroreflex via electromyography, heart rate variability via 3-lead ECG, and cerebral blood flow velocity via transcranial Doppler were analyzed while sitting for 5 minutes and then during quiet standing for 5 minutes.From the seated to standing position, the stroke group had significantly greater decline in the low frequency component of heart rate variability (164 [79] vs 25 [162] ms; P = 0.043). All other cardiovascular parameters and assessments of autonomic function were not significantly different between the two groups.Our findings support the hypothesis of continued autonomic dysfunction after recovery from ischemic stroke, with potential attenuation of the cardiovascular response to standing. However, further investigation is required to determine the mechanisms underlying the increased risk of orthostatic hypotension, syncope, and falls poststroke.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
