Excerpt

The treatment of neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH) in patients with sympathetic failure is a challenging task for autonomic clinicians. Blood pressure (BP) can be erratic, with hypotension and syncope, as well as supine hypertension and its consequences. Current pharmacological options for nOH are limited, especially in patients with severe supine hypertension, and the efficacy of the available medications is inconsistent. Therefore, the development of new therapeutic options is always of interest. …
