Treatment of orthostatic hypotension.

Abstract:

: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. Several pharmacological therapies are available and generally fludrocortisone and midodrine are the drugs of first choice. Recently, highly individualized therapy with ambulatory norepinephrine therapy was able to mobilize otherwise immobile patients.
