Why the study?
Supine hypertension commonly affects patients with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension and may predispose to cardiovascular and renal disease, but treatment risks worsening orthostatic hypotension and causing fall-related complications.
Does treatment of supine hypertension improve outcomes in patients with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension?

Does treatment of supine hypertension improve outcomes in patients with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension?
Individualized management is required when treating supine hypertension in patients with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension to balance long-term cardiovascular risks with the immediate danger of falls.
