Abstract
Arterial hypertension (AH) with orthostatic hypotension (OH) is quite important clinical problem, present especially in older age and in various forms of autonomic nervous system (ANS) failure. ANS damage may be primary, or secondary, most offen in diabetes mellitus. In older age OH occurrence is ab...

Abstract
There are three diseases classified as primary autonomic failure (PAF), multiple system atrophy, Parkinson's disease, pure autonomic failure. Compensatory mechanisms preventing from decrease in blood pressure are inefficient in PAF. Among half of the patients with PAF occur orthostatic hypotension (...

Abstract
Individuals who exhibited less effective SBP regulation even to a subsyndromal degree in response to an orthostatic challenge may be at increased risk for cognitive and affective problems. The relationship between orthostatic BP regulation is best described as curvilinear....

Abstract
Although extrapyramidal diseases are commonly thought to solely affect the (extrapyramidal) motor system, non-motor symptoms such as behavioural abnormalities, dysautonomia, sleep disturbances and sensory dysfunctions are also frequently observed. Autonomic dysfunction as an important clinical compo...

Abstract
We describe the case of a 33 year old male patient with severe orthostatic hypotension, which was at times even in upright (sitting) position not tolerated, thus leading to complete immobilisation. The diagnostic measurements pointed to the group of primary autonomic degenerative disorders, the so-c...

Abstract
We describe the effects of chronic droxidopa in a patient with Dopamine beta-hydroxylase deficiency diagnosed at the age of 73. Investigations were performed to assess sympathetic activity (MIBG scintigraphy, catecholamines) and cardiovascular droxidopa safety.

Abstract
Dysautonomia is commonly observed in Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). However, hypotension is rarely a presenting and persisting symptom. A man with orthostatic hypotension progressively suffered with distal sensory disturbance, weakness in limbs, and persisting paralytic ileus. Dr Liu et al. made th...

Abstract
Atrial ectopy was found in 74% of patients with PD + NOH, 68% with MSA, and 63% with PAF, prevalences 2-3 times those in PD without NOH (28%, p < 0.0001) or other controls (24%, p < 0.0001). Atrial ectopy was related to subject age (p < 0.0001), supine systolic pressure (p < 0.0001), and the orthost...

Abstract
A 73-year-old man with severe orthostatic hypotension was scheduled for open cholecystectomy. His blood pressure was 126/80 mmHg in the supine position and 50/30 mmHg in the upright posture. Preoperative autonomic function tests suggested that postsynaptic fibers of the sympathetic nervous system we...

Abstract
Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is a frequent phenomenon in older persons and usually has a multifactorial origin. When the diagnosis is suspected, the work-up should initially be directed at the most prevalent causes. This clinical algorithm may be a useful tool in the diagnostic process.

Abstract
Therapeutic strategies in Parkinson's disease (PD) provide control of motor (nigral) and nonmotor (extranigral) symptoms. Nigral dopamine-related signs and symptoms are addressed by supplementation or substitution of cerebral dopamine, and extranigral nondopamine-related symptoms are treated by addr...

Abstract
Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is a common feature in Parkinson's disease (PD). As the control of balance and gait is already affected by PD per se, OH may further predispose patients to falls and accidents. The study was conducted to evaluate the clinical correlates of OH and its association with mob...

To date, Parkinson's disease tends to have been perceived mainly as a disorder affecting the extrapyramidal motor system and leading to tremor, bradykinesia, rigidity, and--in later stages--postural instability. However, it is now apparent that patients frequently experience additional clinical symp...
