Intravenous (IV) vasopressors are essential in the management of hypotension and shock. Initiation of oral vasoactive agents to facilitate weaning of IV vasopressors to liberate patients from the intensive care unit is common despite conflicting evidence regarding the benefits of this practice. While midodrine appears to be the most frequently studied oral vasoactive agent for this purpose, its adverse effect profile may preclude its use in certain populations.

Aim: The study aimed to assess the haemodynamic effects of fludrocortisone and midodrine, alone or combined, in patients with recurrent syncope and/or symptoms due to hypotension and ≥ 1 daytime systolic blood pressure (SBP) drop < 90 mmHg or ≥ 2 daytime SBP drops < 100 mmHg recorded by 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM1).
Method: A total of 53 patients (mean age, 40.9 ± 18.

Vasovagal syncope (VVS), characterized by transient loss of consciousness, is among the most prevalent reasons for emergency visits worldwide. Although benign in nature, VVS can be accompanied by traumatic injury, leading to morbidity and decreased quality of life, especially in those with VVS recurrence. The management includes non-pharmacologic and pharmacologic therapies (if resistant), patient education and reassurance, salt and fluid intake increase, and physical counter-pressure maneuvers.

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is a form of cardiovascular autonomic disorders characterized by orthostatic intolerance and a symptomatic increase in heart rate upon standing, which can significantly impair patients' quality of life. Its pathophysiology is complex, multifactorial; thus, a variety of treatment approaches have been investigated. Recent studies have identified three primary POTS phenotypes-hyperadrenergic, neuropathic, and hypovolemic-each requiring tailored management strategies.
