Key result
Orthostatic intolerance plays a role in the symptomatology of chronic fatigue syndrome, with findings resulting at least in part from impaired blood pressure and heart rate regulation.
Orthostatic intolerance is implicated in chronic fatigue syndrome, highlighting the need to discover specific etiologies to develop effective treatments.
May warrant orthostatic evaluation in chronic fatigue syndrome; leaves open causal mechanisms and treatment effects.
The symp toms of the chronic fa tigue syndrome closely match those of chronic orthostatic in tol er ance and re search sug gests that orthostatic in tol er ance plays a role in the symptomatology of CFS. Re -cent in ves ti gations sup port the hy poth e sis that findings in CFS patients re sult at least in part from im paired blood pres sure and heart rate reg u lation. Orthostatic in tol er ance has been im pli cated. Effective and spe cific treat ment for chronic orthostatic in tol er ance can only be de vel oped when a spe cific eti ol ogy or eti ol o gies are dis cov -ered.
