Which is preferable for orthostatic hypotension diagnosis in older adults: active standing test or head-up tilt table test?
BACKGROUND Correct evaluation of orthostatic hypotension (OH) is crucial in geriatric practice, since OH is associated with mortality and morbidity. The study aimed to determine the most appropriate method for measuring blood pressure in transition from supine to upright position in order to diagnose OH in older adults. METHODS Active standing test (AST) and head-up tilt table (HUT) test as w...
متن کاملOrthostatic symptoms does not always manifest during tilt-table test in pediatric postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome patients
PURPOSE Chronic day-to-day symptoms of orthostatic intolerance are the most notable features of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). However, we have encountered patients with such symptoms and excessive tachycardia but with no symptoms during the tilt-table test (TTT). We aimed to investigate whether POTS patients with chronic orthostatic intolerance always present orthostatic sym...
متن کاملRobotic tilt table reduces the occurrence of orthostatic hypotension over time in vegetative states.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of verticalization with or without combined movement of the lower limbs in patients in a vegetative state or a minimally conscious state. In particular, we aimed to study whether, in the group with combined movement, there was better tolerance to verticalization. This was a randomized trial conducted in a neurorehabilitation hospital. Twelve pati...
متن کاملManagement of orthostatic hypotension from autonomic dysfunction in diabetics on peritoneal dialysis.
A utonomic neuropathy occurs in over 50% of chronic dialysis patients (1). Since the autonomic nervous system innervates almost every organ of the body, the clinical features may be diverse and widespread. Most of the nerve fibers in the autonomic nervous system are small myelinated or unmyelinated fibers that are affected early in diabetes mellitus (2). Neurogenic orthostatic hypotension is th...
متن کاملAmbulatory norepinephrine treatment of severe autonomic orthostatic hypotension.
OBJECTIVES This study was designed to establish a patient-controlled, ambulatory norepinephrine treatment of refractory orthostatic hypotension due to primary autonomic failure. BACKGROUND Autonomic dysfunction leads to disabling postural hypotension. Particularly in primary autonomic dysfunction, repeated syncope and immobilization can be the result. Medical treatment of orthostatic hypotens...
