Key result
Orthostatic hypotension and supine hypertension can coexist in autonomic failure, requiring difficult, individualized treatment tailored to objectives set through patient discussion.
Treatment of coexisting orthostatic hypotension and supine hypertension in autonomic failure requires a tailored approach based on patient-discussed objectives.
Tailored treatment via patient discussion remains essential for coexisting orthostatic hypotension and supine hypertension; leaves open optimal protocols pending higher-level evidence.
Orthostatic hypotension and supine hypertension are two cardiovascular symptoms of autonomic failure that can coexist in the same patient. Treatment of these conditions is difficult and needs to be tailored according to the objectives that should be set through a discussion with the patient.
