Abstract

Neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH) is a subtype of orthostatic hypotension in which patients have impaired regulation of standing blood pressure due to autonomic dysfunction. Several primary and secondary causes of this disease exist. Patients may present with an array of symptoms making diagnosis difficult. This review article addresses the epidemiology, pathophysiology, causes, clinical features, and management of nOH. We highlight various pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches to treatment, and review the recent guidelines and our approach to nOH.

Keywords: Neurogenic OH; autonomic dysfunction.
