22. Orthostatic Hypotension Information:CWRU Autonomic Lab This article discusses orthostatic hypotension with a brief description and details on diagnosing, tips to assist the patient, diet, salt, and medications. http://mediswww.cwru.edu/dept/neurology/autonomic/orthostatic.html

Instructions for patients with orthostatic hypotension Orthostatic hypotension means that when you are standing ("static") upright ("ortho"), your blood pressure ("tension") falls ("hypo"), and causes you to become dizzy or even pass out. There are several causes for this, including not taking enough fluids and salts, some medications (for example, the tricyclic antidepressants and the anti-hypertensives, of course), and some hormonal problems. However, much of the time, the problem is due to the fact that the nerves are not telling the vessels to close down when you stand up. You may not realize this, but whenever you stand, the blood vessels in the rest of the body must close down, so that blood can continue flowing to the brain. The nerves (specifically, the autonomic nerves) are responsible for this. If they are not working, as sometimes happens in diabetes or in Parkinson's disease, the vessels do not close properly, and result in orthostatic hypotension. First, a diagnosis must be obtained, to understand the origin and severity of the problem. This will usually include autonomic testing, including blood pressure testing, perhaps some bloodwork, and sometimes some imaging of the brain. Second, some basic simple measures will help greatly:

Orthostatic Hypotension And Syncope Topics Orthostatic Hypotension Syncope Orthostatic Hypotension Orthostatic hypotension is not a specific disease but rather a manifestation of abnormal BP regulation due to various causes. Etiology and Pathophysiology The gravitational stress of sudden standing normally causes pooling of blood in the venous capacitance vessels of the legs and trunk. The subsequent transient decrease in venous return and cardiac output results in reduced BP. Baroreceptors in the aortic arch and carotid bodies activate autonomic reflexes that rapidly normalize BP by causing a transient tachycardia. These changes reflect primarily the sympathetic mediated increase in catecholamine levels, which augments vasomotor tone of the capacitance vessels, increases heart rate and myocardial contractility, and thereby enhances cardiac output; arterial and venous vasoconstriction are mediated by similar mechanisms. Vagal inhibition also increases the heart rate. With continued standing, ADH secretion and activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system cause Na and water retention and expansion of the circulating blood volume. When afferent, central, or efferent portions of the

ORTHOSTATIC HYPOTENSION Timothy C. Hain, MD. Please read our Return to Index Search this site Page last modified: February 2, 2004 Orthostasis means upright posture, and hypotension means low blood pressure. Thus, orthostatic hypotension consists of symptoms of dizziness, faintness or lightheadedness which appear only on standing, and which are caused by low blood pressure. Only rarely is spinning vertigo caused by orthostasis. Vertigo and orthostatis may co-exist however. Symptoms that often accompany orthostatic hypotension include chest pain, trouble holding the urine, impotence, and dry skin from loss of sweating. What Causes Orthostatic Hypotension ? Blood pressure is maintained by a combination of several things. The heart is the central pump, and a weak or irregular heart can cause orthostasis. Conditions such as arrhythmia, heart failure, deconditioning, and pregnancy are examples where the heart may not be up to the task of providing an adequate blood pressure. The heart pumps blood, and if there is too little blood volume (anemia, dehydration, dialysis), the pressure drops. The blood vessels in the body also can squeeze (constrict) to raise blood pressure, and if this action is paralyzed, blood pressure may fall. Numerous medications affect blood vessels including most of the medications used for blood pressure, and many of the medications used in psychiatry and for anginal heart pain. Heat, such as a hot shower or from a fever can also dilate blood vessels and cause orthostasis. The nervous system senses and responds to regulate blood pressure. If something is wrong in this control system, blood pressure may fluctuate.

Next page Low Blood Pressure (Hypotension) What is low blood pressure? What are causes of low blood pressure? How is low blood pressure treated? What is low blood pressure? Low blood pressure can be broadly defined as any blood pressure that is below the normal expected for an individual in a given environment. Low blood pressure, therefore, is a relative term. Blood pressure varies greatly with activity, age, medications, and underlying medical conditions. Low blood pressure is also referred to as hypotension. What are causes of low blood pressure? Low blood pressure can result from conditions that do not begin in the nervous system, conditions of the nervous system, and drugs. Conditions that are not nervous system illness which can cause low blood pressure include bleeding, infections, dehydration , heart disease, adrenal insufficiency, pregnancy, prolonged bed rest, poisoning, toxic shock syndrome, and blood transfusion reactions.

38. Postural (Orthostatic) Hypotension OTHER COMPLICATIONS OF SPINAL CORD INJURY POSTURAL (ORTHOSTATIC) hypotension. Postural hypotension, also known as orthostatic hypotension http://calder.med.miami.edu/pointis/pos.html

OTHER COMPLICATIONS OF SPINAL CORD INJURY: POSTURAL (ORTHOSTATIC) HYPOTENSION Postural hypotension, also known as orthostatic hypotension, is a condition which results in a decrease in blood pressure when you sit or stand. This can cause "light-headedness" or "fainting". It occurs more commonly when you are first injured, when you are fatigued, or after any illness. You will have an increased tendency for postural hypotension if your level of injury is at T-6 or above, but it can occur in all spinal cord injured individuals. After your spinal cord injury, the blood vessels do not decrease in size, in response to lowered blood pressure, due to the altered function of the autonomic nervous system. Because of this, blood pools in the pelvic region or legs while you are sitting or sanding. Postural hypotension usually occurs when you are initially placed in your wheelchair or on the tilt table. To prevent this, wear elastic hose and an abdominal support. It is also helpful to come to a sitting or standing position gradually. If postural hypotension occurs while you are in a wheelchair, your attendant should firmly grab the handles of the wheelchair and tilt you backward, until your head and neck are nearly horizontal to the floor. This will increase your blood pressure and the "fainting" will quickly disappear. You should then be gradually returned to a sitting position.
