Orthostatic hypotension (OH) symptoms are the most frequent reason for patients to undergo an autonomic examination. The incidence of these symptoms is greater in two groups: young people with neurally mediated syncope, and adults older than 60 years, all who have normal results in the EKG and EEG test. The baroreflex afferents induce a continuous blood pressure adjustment through the heart rate variation. There are functional changes with aging which reduce this baroreflex sensitivity and therefore the accommodation to the haemodynamic requirements is frequently impaired. A number of no neurogenic triggers can be implicated in the development of OH symptoms such as electrolytic disorders, arrhythmia with low stroke volume and drugs side effects.
