This review outlines the pathophysiology, etiologies, and diagnostic and therapeutic alternatives for orthostatic hypotension and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome.
Review classifies orthostatic intolerance syndromes and details OH/POTS pathophysiology; leaves open targeted interventions pending prospective validation.
Orthostatic intolerance is the inability to tolerate an upright posture as a consequence of varying degrees of autonomic nervous system dysfunction. Orthostatic intolerance syndromes can be classified into at least 3 categories: 1) orthostatic hypotension, 2) neurally mediated (reflex) syncope, and 3) postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. In this review, we discuss the pathophysiology and etiologies of orthostatic hypotension and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, and propose their diagnostic and therapeutic alternatives.
