Norepinephrine Precursor Therapy in Neurogenic Orthostatic Hypotension [PDF]

Circulation, 2003
Background— In patients with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (NOH), the availability of the sympathetic neurotransmitter norepinephrine (NE) in the synaptic cleft is insufficient to maintain blood pressure while in the standing posture.

Synergic Effect of Fludrocortisone and Disopyramide in an Elderly Patient with Orthostatic Syncope

International Journal of Gerontology, 2013
Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is a debilitating condition very common in the elderly that may leads to syncope. There is no single drug able to limit the fall in blood pressure in patients affected by OH when standing.

Partial pharmacologic blockade shows sympathetic connection between blood pressure and cerebral blood flow velocity fluctuations [PDF]

, 2016
Cerebral autoregulation (CA) dampens transfer of blood pressure (BP)-fluctuations onto cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV). Thus, CBFV-oscillations precede BP-oscillations.

A Practical Guide to the Treatment of Neurogenic Orthostatic Hypotension [PDF]

Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences / Journal Canadien des Sciences Neurologiques, 2014
Neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (NOH) is a debilitating condition associated with many central and peripheral neurological disorders. It has a complex pathophysiology and variable clinical presentation, which makes diagnosis and treatment difficult. Neurogenic orthostatic hypotension is often confused with other disorders of orthostatic intolerance,
