Orthostatic hypotension is a chronic, debilitating illness that is difficult to treat. The therapeutic goal is to improve postural symptoms, standing time, and function rather than to achieve upright normotension, which can lead to supine hypertension. Drug therapy alone is never adequate. Because orthostatic stress varies with circumstances during the day, a patient-oriented approach that emphasizes education and nonpharmacologic strategies is critical. We provide easy-to-remember management recommendations, using a combination of drug and nondrug treatments that have proven efficacious.
直立性低血压是一种慢性、使人虚弱的疾病,难以治疗。治疗目标是改善姿势症状、站立时间和功能,而不是达到直立血压正常,因为这可能导致仰卧高血压。单独的药物治疗永远不够。由于直立应激在白天的情况下会发生变化,因此强调教育和非药物策略的以患者为中心的方法至关重要。我们提供易于记忆的管理建议,使用已证明有效的药物和非药物治疗组合。
