Orthostatic hypotension: a marker of blood pressure variability and arterial stiffness: a cross-sectional study on an elderly population: the 3-City study.

Journal of Hypertension, 2020
BACKGROUND Orthostatic hypotension, blood pressure (BP) variability, and arterial stiffness are three markers of cardiovascular risk beyond the average BP. However, the relationships between these three parameters are not well known. AIM To examine the

Orthostatic Hypotension in the Elderly

New England Journal of Medicine, 1989
ORTHOSTATIC hypotension is often observed in elderly people and may result in substantial morbidity and mortality from associated falls and syncope. Studies of elderly people living in the community have found a prevalence of orthostatic hypotension as high as 20 percent among medical outpatients over 65 years of age1 , 2 and 30 percent among those ...

Orthostatic Hypotension

Medical Clinics of North America, 1989
Orthostatic hypotension is a rare finding in healthy elderly subjects, but is a common clinical problem in older patients. Assessment of symptoms and the blood pressure response to standing is an important part of the initial evaluation and follow-up of geriatric patients. Generally, more than one cause will be identified, and these patients respond to

Syncope and orthostatic hypotension

The American Journal of Medicine, 1991
The purpose of this study was to determine the postural blood pressure response over time, the prevalence of orthostatic hypotension in patients with syncope, and the relationship of orthostatic hypotension to recurrence of symptoms.We prospectively evaluated 223 patients with syncope in a standardized manner.

Orthostatic Hypotension, 2001 [PDF]

Cardiology in Review, 2001
Upright posture requires rapid and effective circulatory and neurologic compensations to maintain blood pressure and consciousness. Although it has been recognized over the past 100 years or more that the act of standing may cause hypotension in patients with autonomic dysfunction, only recently several of the pathophysiologic mechanisms resulting in ...

Orthostatic hypotension and birthweight

Archives of Gynecology and Obstetrics, 1991
This study was designed to test two hypotheses. First, that the changes in arterial blood pressure, induced by a transition from a lying to a standing position, are different in early and late pregnancy. Second, that birthweight is related to the change in mean arterial blood pressure in late pregnancy such that those patients whose pressure fell on ...

Idiopathic Orthostatic Hypotension

Archives of Neurology, 1971
A case of idiopathic orthostatic hypotension (IOH) is presented with clinical and autopsy data. Electron microscopic examination identifies previously described eosinophil bodies in the sympathetic ganglia as axonal swellings. The case presented is correlated with data from literature.

Orthostatic hypotension: A review

Néphrologie & Thérapeutique, 2017
Orthostatic hypotension, defined by a drop in blood pressure of at least 20mmHg for systolic blood pressure and at least 10mmHg for diastolic blood pressure within 3minutes of standing up, is a frequent finding, particularly in elderly patients. It is associated with a significant increase in morbidity and mortality. Although it is often multifactorial,

Management of orthostatic hypotension

American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy, 1994
The pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and management of orthostatic hypotension (OH) are reviewed. OH is a decline in blood pressure that occurs when one moves from a lying to a standing position that results in symptoms of cerebral hypoperfusion, most commonly lightheadedness and syncope.

Management of supine hypertension in patients with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension: scientific statement of the American Autonomic Society, European Federation of Autonomic Societies, and the European Society of Hypertension.

Journal of Hypertension, 2019
: Supine hypertension commonly occurs in patients with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension due to autonomic failure. Supine hypertension promotes nocturnal sodium excretion and orthostatic hypotension, thus, interfering with quality of life.
