Pooling in chronic orthostatic intolerance: arterial vasoconstrictive but not venous compliance defects.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Chlamydia pneumoniae (Cp) has been demonstrated in arteries and abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). However, the validity of the methods used is questioned, and antibiotic treatment trials have thus far shown disappointing results. Nevertheless, antibodies against the Cp outer membrane proteins (OMPs) have be...
