    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Neurology
    • Endocrinology

    Context:

    • Orthostatic hypotension is a common clinical challenge for physicians, affecting blood pressure regulation upon standing.
    • It encompasses functional orthostatic syndrome and true orthostatic hypotension, linked to various underlying conditions.

    Purpose:

    • To outline the diverse causes and pathogenetic mechanisms of orthostatic hypotension.
    • To emphasize the importance of thorough evaluation and tailored treatment strategies.

    Summary:

    • Orthostatic hypotension results from hypovolemia, cardiac, pulmonary, endocrine diseases, or autonomic dysfunction, particularly in the elderly.
    • Medications can also contribute to or cause orthostatic hypotension.
    • Comprehensive management involving general measures and pharmacologic agents can improve blood pressure and quality of life.
