Treatment of Orthostatic Hypotension

Seminars in Neurology, 2003
Orthostatic hypotension is the most incapacitating symptom of autonomic failure. This disorder occurs with both central autonomic neurodegenerative disorders, such as multiple system atrophy and Parkinson's disease, and peripheral autonomic disorders, such as the autonomic peripheral neuropathies and pure autonomic failure. The hallmark of both central

Idiopathic Orthostatic Hypotension

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1962
Six patients with idiopathic orthostatic hypotension were studied for the effect and mode of action of 9-alpha-fluorohydrocortisone. In 5 patients satisfactory symptomatic control of the hypotension was achieved. In 1 patient it was twice demonstrated that the rise of blood pressure obtained within 48 hours after starting treatment with 9-alpha ...

Treatment of orthostatic hypotension

Current Opinion in Pharmacology, 2002
Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is a fall in blood pressure after assuming an upright position. Whereas asymptomatic patients usually need no treatment, the majority of symptomatic patients can be cured by avoidance of trigger mechanisms and the use of physical countermaneuvers and non-pharmacological interventions.

Orthostatic Hypotension in Pediatrics

Heart Disease, 2002
Transient orthostatic hypotension is a common experience of many healthy adolescents and is the expected outcome of relatively dilated-dependent vascular tone. These children may experience brief symptoms of orthostatic intolerance when standing up rapidly, but they have no chronic symptoms or diseases.

Prevalence of orthostatic hypotension

Clinical Autonomic Research, 2008
Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is defined as a fall in blood pressure of at least 20 mmHg systolic or 10 mmHg diastolic when standing or during head-up tilt testing. The prevalence of OH increases with age, with disorders that affect autonomic nerve transmission, and with increasingly severe orthostatic stress.

Orthostatic Hypotension and Syncope

New England Journal of Medicine, 1977
A failure of peripheral vascular tone in the upright position is a common cause of arterial hypotension, cerebral ischemia and syncope. The commonest form is vasodepressor syncope, with an active dilatation of resistance vessels, indicative of a crescendo, autonomic discharge in which cholinergic features predominate (perspiration, increased ...

Hypotension Unawareness in Profound Orthostatic Hypotension

The American Journal of Medicine, 2009
Clinicians depend on history given by the patients when considering the diagnosis of orthostatic hypotension.Patients with a decrease in systolic blood pressure more than 60 mm Hg from baseline during a head-up tilt table test were included. They were classified according to their symptoms during the head-up tilt table test.

Orthostatic Hypotension and Drugs: Drug-Induced Orthostatic Hypotension

2020
Drug-Induced Orthostatic Hypotension (DOH) is considered as one of seconder Orthostatic Hypotension (OH) and it usually leads to OH symptoms such as light-headedness, syncope, falls, injury in the elderly. DOH originates from dysfunction of autonomic tone that regulates blood pressure and it can lead to OH or trigger easily OH by medications.
