Heart failure (HF) is common in older people. The diagnosis of HF, however, is difficult in older subjects, especially in settings without direct access to further diagnostics. The type of blood pressure response during the performance of a Valsalva maneuver has been suggested as an easily applicable bedside test to detect HF; however, the reliability of this maneuver and the association with HF is unknown in geriatric patients. This study included 89 patients admitted for geriatric rehabilitation. Systolic blood pressure was taken while the patient performed a Valsalva maneuver. The systolic blood pressure resp…
