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.

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

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.

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 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 ...

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.

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 ORTHOSTATIC TACHYCARDIA

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1940
Orthostatic hypotension is characterized chiefly by a sharp decrease in blood pressure when a patient afflicted with it stands. The blood pressure is ordinarily normal when the patient lies. If the blood pressure decreases to a low level, weakness and syncope result.

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 ...
