Management of Orthostatic Hypotension: A Review

Listen to this summary

The authors review the management of orthostatic hypotension, a condition that is often underrecognized and linked to increased morbidity and mortality, particularly in older adults. They emphasize the importance of screening for this condition in symptomatic and high-risk patients, as well as the need for a comprehensive treatment approach that prioritizes nonpharmacological strategies before considering medication. The paper highlights that treatment should focus on symptom relief and fall prevention rather than solely on blood pressure measurements.
