Postural change in systolic blood pressure (SBP) is prospectively associated with several disease outcomes including hypertension, stroke, and coronary heart disease. The objective of this study was to characterize further a possible quantitative trait locus on chromosome 18q21 influencing SBP response to a postural challenge.
