Orthostatic hypotension: An overlooked but clinically decisive entity
Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is defined as a drop of >20 mm Hg of systolic or >10 mm Hg of diastolic blood pressure (BP) within 3 min of standing from lying position. It is a common geriatric syndrome caused by impaired orthostatic response of BP.

Neurogenic Orthostatic Hypotension [PDF]
Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is defined as a persistent, consistent, orthostatic fall in systolic blood pressure of ≥20 mm Hg or diastolic pressure of ≥10 mm Hg by 3 minutes of standing up.1 Acute, unexpected, episodic falls in blood pressure while standing, as in neurocardiogenic syncope, do not satisfy criteria for OH.

Background Neurogenic orthostatic hypotension, a sustained decrease in blood pressure upon standing, is caused by autonomic nervous system failure and characterized by an insufficient increase in heart rate needed to maintain blood pressure upon standing.

Orthostatic hypotension and novel blood pressure-associated gene variants: Genetics of Postural Hemodynamics (GPH) Consortium [PDF]
Aims: Orthostatic hypotension (OH), an independent predictor of mortality and cardiovascular events, strongly correlates with hypertension. Recent genome-wide studies have identified new loci influencing blood pressure (BP) in populations, but their ...

Management of neurogenic orthostatic hypotension: an update [PDF]
Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is common in elderly people and in patients with disorders such as diabetes and Parkinson's disease. Grading of the severity of OH and its effect on the patient's quality of life are important. The symptoms vary with orthostatic stress, and subtle symptoms such as tiredness and cognitive impairment should be recognised ...

Autonomic symptoms in hypertensive patients with post-acute minor ischemic stroke [PDF]
Background Most studies regarding autonomic dysfunction in ischemic stroke are limited to heart rate and blood pressure changes during the acute phase. However, there are few data on quantitative assessment of autonomic symptoms.
