ABSTRACT
Orthostatic hypotension is an anomaly of growing interest in scientific research. Although certain neurogenic diseases are associated with this phenomenon, it can also be associated with non-neurological causes. Although orthostatic hypotension is defined by consensus as a decrease in the systolic blood pressure of at least 20mmHg, or a decrease in diastolic blood pressure of at least 10mmHg, within 3min of standing, the studies differ on how to diagnose it. Orthostatic hypotension is associated with certain cardiovascular risk factors and with drug treatment, but the results are contradictory. The purpose of this review is to update the knowledge about orthostatic hypotension and its treatment, as well as to propose a method to standardise its diagnosis.
