An appropriately sized cuff was used to ensure the bladder within the BP cuff encircled at least 80% of the arm. BP was measured in both arms and the arm with the higher reading was used for office BP recording. For study defined BP measurements, three sitting BP and heart rate (HR) measurements were recorded, 1–2 min apart. The average of the 2nd and the 3rd measurements have been used for analysis. Standing BP and HR were recorded after 1 min to check the presence of OHTN, defined as office standing minus office seated systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥ 20 mmHg and/or office standing minus office sitting diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥ 10 mmHg at baseline. The presence of any symptoms was not required for the diagnosis of OHTN.

Cardiovascular assessment in long COVID
Participants with long COVID underwent a standard transthoracic echocardiogram (EPIQ 7G, Philips, MA, USA). Left ventricular (LV) structure and systolic and diastolic function were assessed using 2D, 3D, and Doppler echocardiography. Full details of the protocol and outcome measures is provided in the Appendix
In long COVID cases, pulse wave velocity (PWV) was measured in a semi supine position using a Vicorder device (Skidmore Medical, Germany) according to manufacturer guidelines. Three consecutive measurements were acquired (within 0.5 m/s of each other) and averaged. Full protocol details are described in the Appendix

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
