Pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of orthostatic hypotension and vasovagal syncope.
Orthostatic hypotension (OH) occurs in 0.5% of individuals and as many as 7-17% of patients in acute care settings. Moreover, OH may be more prevalent in the elderly due to the increased use of vasoactive medications and the concomitant decrease in physiologic function, such as baroreceptor sensitivity. OH may result in the genesis of a presyncopal state or result in syncope. OH is defined as a...

متن کاملOrthostatic Hypotension: Epidemiology, Prognosis, and Treatment.

OH is diagnosed on the basis of an orthostatic challenge and implies a persistent systolic/diastolic blood pressure decrease of at least 20/10 mm Hg upon standing.

Chronic oral administration of ergotamine tartrate produced significant increases in standing blood pressure and marked clinical improvement, without appreciable recumbent hypertension. The blood pressure increases were not associated with significant changes in plasma norepinephrine...
