Orthostatic Hypotension in Adults With Hypertension: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association

Hypertension Journal

Hypertension, Ahead of Print. Although orthostatic hypotension (OH) has long been recognized as a manifestation of autonomic dysfunction, a growing body of literature has identified OH as a common comorbidity of hypertension. These strategies include countermaneuvers and short-acting vasoactive agents (midodrine, droxidopa).

Pyridostigmine in the management of orthostatic hypotension: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Open Heart

Background Current pharmacological approaches for the treatment of orthostatic hypotension (OH) may detrimentally affect supine blood pressure (BP). Pyridostigmine has been proposed as a potential treatment alternative which may improve OH without worsening supine hypertension. PROSPERO registration number CRD42024555402.
