Retrospective study explores blood pressure issues in Parkinson's disease, suggesting influences on treatment outcomes.

The aim is to assess the prevalence of orthostatic hypotension and supine hypertension in Parkinson's disease and identify related factors.
Single-centre retrospective observational study of 183 Parkinson's disease patients
Active supine-to-stand test with beat-to-beat blood pressure monitoring
Logistic regression to identify factors associated with blood pressure abnormalities.
72.1% of patients experienced orthostatic hypotension, with 27.9% showing symptoms.
Supine hypertension occurred in 21.9% of patients.
Older age (P=0.017), arterial hypertension (P=0.002), and high Hoehn and Yahr stage (P=0.006) were associated with increased odds of supine hypertension.

Jia et al. (2026) studied this question.
