Description

In this episode, we review orthostatic hypotension (OH). What criteria define OH? What is a simple way to distinguish neurogenic OH from volume depletion-related OH? What criteria define postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS)? What non-pharmacologic measures should be undertaken as first-line measures for OH? How do fludrocortisone, midodrine, droxidopa, and atomoxetine work, and what are their side effects? How is supine hypertension managed? Tune in for answers to these questions.
