Evidence for increased diastolic hypertension is less strong and is probably related to renal dysfunction.

Orthostatic venous pooling is common with orthostatic diastolic hypertension.

Orthostatic diastolic hypertension is a condition in which the diastolic raises to 98 mmHg or over in response to standing; however, this definition currently lacks clear medical consensus, and is thus subject to change.

The VA Cooperative Study on Antihypertensive agents was a double-blind, randomized controlled trial comparing atenolol, captopril, clonidine, diltiazem, hydrochlorothiazide, prazosin, and placebo for differences in antihypertensive efficacy in 1,105 men who had mild diastolic hypertension [ 10 ] .
