Highlights the complexity of managing coexisting orthostatic hypotension and supine hypertension in autonomic failure, emphasizing personalized treatment goals.
Management of coexisting orthostatic hypotension and supine hypertension in autonomic failure requires individualized goals; leaves open prospective comparative trials.
Summary 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.
