Cerebral Perfusion in Subjects with Orthostatic Intolerance
INTRODUCTION Orthostatic intolerance is characterized by symptoms of lightheadedness, tiredness, palpitations, blurred vision and occasionally, by loss of consciousness during standing, which are relieved upon recumbency. These symptoms are suggestive of cerebral hypoperfusion, yet they occur in the absence of orthostatic hypotension. We therefore evaluated cerebral vasoregulation in patients w...
متن کاملThe utility of Valsalva maneuver in the diagnoses of orthostatic disorders.
The objective of this study was to assess hemodynamic responses and baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) indexes during Valsalva maneuver (VM) and head-up tilt (HUT) testing in orthostatic intolerance (OI). Patients with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (NOH, n = 26), postural tachycardia syndrome (n = 26) and symptomatic OI (n = 14) were compared with healthy population (control, n = 107) and inappr...
متن کاملOrthostatic Intolerance and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome in Joint Hypermobility Syndrome/Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Hypermobility Type: Neurovegetative Dysregulation or Autonomic Failure?
Background. Joint hypermobility syndrome/Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, hypermobility type (JHS/EDS-HT), is a hereditary connective tissue disorder mainly characterized by generalized joint hypermobility, skin texture abnormalities, and visceral and vascular dysfunctions, also comprising symptoms of autonomic dysfunction. This study aims to further evaluate cardiovascular autonomic involvement in JHS/...
متن کاملNeurocirculatory abnormalities in Parkinson disease with orthostatic hypotension: independence from levodopa treatment.
Patients with Parkinson disease often have orthostatic hypotension. Neurocirculatory abnormalities underlying orthostatic hypotension might reflect levodopa treatment. Sixty-six Parkinson disease patients (36 with orthostatic hypotension, 15 off and 21 on levodopa; 30 without orthostatic hypotension) had tests of reflexive cardiovagal gain (decrease in interbeat interval per unit decrease in sy...
متن کاملBaroreflex failure as a late sequela of neck irradiation.
Combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy increase long-term survival in patients with head and neck tumors. Late complications of treatment, however, are being recognized increasingly. Surgery or radiotherapy of the carotid sinuses or brain stem can evoke labile hypertension and orthostatic intolerance from acute or subacute baroreflex failure. Here we report cases in which chronic baroreflex fai...
