Orthostatic Intolerance after COVID-19 Infection: Is Disturbed Microcirculation of the Vasa Vasorum of Capacitance Vessels the Primary Defect? [PDF]
Following COVID-19 infection, a substantial proportion of patients suffer from persistent symptoms known as Long COVID. Among the main symptoms are fatigue, cognitive dysfunction, muscle weakness and orthostatic intolerance (OI).

Interventions aimed to increase average 24-h systolic blood pressure reduce blood pressure drops in patients with reflex syncope and orthostatic intolerance. [PDF]
Aims Systolic blood pressure (SBP) drops recorded by 24-h ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring (ABPM) identify patients with susceptibility to reflex syncope and orthostatic intolerance. We tested the hypothesis that treatments aimed to increase BP (

Head-Up Tilt Sleeping to Treat Orthostatic Intolerance in a Patient with Advanced Parkinson’s Disease: A Case Report [PDF]
Introduction: Orthostatic hypotension is common in people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) due to autonomic dysfunction and medication use and can have a significant negative impact on quality of life.

Chronic Orthostatic Intolerance [PDF]
Chronic orthostatic intolerance (COI, also known as postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) is a disorder that most frequently affects young women (female-to-male ratio, 4:1).1 Presenting symptoms include lightheadedness, palpitations, fatigue, blurred vision, dizziness, exercise intolerance, chest discomfort, cognitive impairment, and occasionally ...

Impact of Daily Lower‐Body Negative Pressure or Cycling Followed by Venous Constrictive Thigh Cuffs on Bedrest‐Induced Orthostatic Intolerance [PDF]
Background Orthostatic intolerance occurs following immobilization in patients on Earth and in astronauts after spaceflight. Head‐down tilt bedrest is a terrestrial model for weightlessness and induces orthostatic intolerance.

Pediatric Disorders of Orthostatic Intolerance [PDF]
Orthostatic intolerance (OI), having difficulty tolerating an upright posture because of symptoms or signs that abate when returned to supine, is common in pediatrics. For example, ∼40% of people faint during their lives, half of whom faint during adolescence, and the peak age for first faint is 15 years.

Normative data for the 10-min lean test in adults without orthostatic intolerance [PDF]
BackgroundOrthostatic intolerance syndromes such as Orthostatic Hypotension (OH) and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (PoTS) are common symptoms seen in post-infection conditions and other neurological conditions with autonomic dysfunction.

Common Syndromes of Orthostatic Intolerance [PDF]
The autonomic nervous system, adequate blood volume, and intact skeletal and respiratory muscle pumps are essential components for rapid cardiovascular adjustments to upright posture (orthostasis). Patients lacking sufficient blood volume or having defective sympathetic adrenergic vasoconstriction develop orthostatic hypotension (OH), prohibiting ...

Orthostatic intolerance and presyncopal states in young adults
Introduction and purpose: Orthostatic intolerance is an increasingly recognized disturbance of circulatory regulation in young adults, particularly in academic settings where characteristic lifestyle patterns promote autonomic imbalance. The aim of this

Circulating Autoantibodies Against Vasoactive Biomarkers Related to Orthostatic Intolerance in Long COVID Patients Compared to No-Long-COVID Populations: A Case-Control Study [PDF]
Endothelial dysfunction mediated by elevated levels of autoantibodies against vasoactive peptides occurring after COVID-19 infection is proposed as a possible pathomechanism for orthostatic intolerance in long COVID patients.
