AI Article Synopsis
- Bed-rest longer than 12 hours caused postural hypotension (PH) in 54% of older patients who were seated.
- PH was caused by multiple factors and could start within just 5 minutes of standing up.
- Due to how common and sudden these symptoms can occur, it's important to anticipate and prevent PH in older patients.
Article Abstract

Hypertension and orthostatic hypotension in the elderly: a challenging balance.

Hypertension and orthostatic hypotension (OH) frequently coexist in the older population, both stemming from impaired blood pressure (BP) regulation. Managing hypertension in patients with OH presents a significant clinical challenge, particularly in frail older adults who are also prone to falls. Hypertension treatment is often suboptimal in this population due to concerns over the potential increased risk of falls associated with treatment.

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is the fastest-growing neurological disorder globally. Defining features include tremor, muscular rigidity, bradykinesia, and postural instability, which in combination with nonmotor symptoms such as cognitive impairment and orthostatic hypotension increase the risk of falls. Along with low bone mineral density, fracture risk is high in PD.
