    AbstractOrthostatic hypotension (orthostatic hypotension) is a highly prevalent medical condition that is an independent risk factor for falls and mortality. It reflects a condition in which autonomic reflexes are impaired or intravascular volume is depleted, causing a significant reduction in blood pressure upon standing. This disorder is frequently unrecognized until later in its clinical course. Symptoms like orthostatic dizziness do not reliably identify patients with orthostatic hypotension, who are often asymptomatic, lending further to the difficulty of this diagnosis. We summarize 7 clinically important misconceptions about orthostatic hypotension.Copyright © 2024. Published by Elsevier Inc.
