Authors: Jens Jordan, Italo Biaggioni

Published in: Clinical Autonomic Research | Issue 6/2023

Excerpt

The clinical guidelines of the European Society of Hypertension (ESH) are a resource used not only by hypertension specialists but also by general physicians, internists, and other medical specialties. While the focus remains on management of hypertensive disorders, for the first time, the new 2023 guidelines include recommendations for diagnosis and management of autonomic disorders, including autonomic failure and (afferent) baroreflex failure among others [1]. This is a welcomed addition and one that will raise awareness of cardiovascular autonomic diseases among non-autonomic specialists. In this editorial, we will give an overview on the areas that are covered by the new guidelines, relevant to patients with autonomic disorders. …
