Dizziness is a frequent and often multifactorial symptom in older patients that can significantly impair the quality of life. The causes are diverse and differ from younger patients. Polyneuropathy, orthostatic dysregulation, drug-related causes, positional vertigo and bilateral vestibulopathy are more frequent in old age.

Purpose: Long-coronavirus disease (long-COVID) is associated with initial orthostatic hypotension and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. Whether altered autonomic tone underlies these abnormalities is unknown. We compared autonomic function between patients with long-COVID and healthy controls, and within patients with long-COVID with different orthostatic hemodynamic phenotypes.

Background: Hypotensive episodes detected by 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring capture daily cumulative hypotensive stress and could be clinically relevant to cognitive impairment, but this relationship remains unclear.
Methods: We included participants from the Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (receiving intensive or standard BP treatment) who had 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring measured near the 27-month visit and subsequent biannual cognitive assessments. We evaluated the associations of hypotensive episodes (defined as systolic BP drops of ≥20 mm Hg between 2 consecutive measurements that reached <100 mm Hg) and hypotensive duration (cumulative time of systolic BP <100 mm Hg) with subsequent cognitive function using adjusted linear mixed models.
Case report: Treatable immune-mediated severe orthostatic hypotension in SARS-CoV-2 infection.

We report a patient with autonomic dysfunction following acute SARS-CoV-2 infection, presenting progressively worsening severe orthostatic hypotension to the point where she could no longer sit or stand. The patient experienced a delay in diagnosis after an initial misdiagnosis of a functional neurological disorder. Persistent orthostatic symptoms prompted us to re-examine the diagnosis and explore other diagnostic tools, which ultimately allowed us to identify and treat severe immune-mediated orthostatic hypotension (OH).

Background: Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is an important differential diagnosis in unexplained syncope. Neurogenic OH (nOH) has been postulated to differ from non-neurogenic OH (non-nOH), yet pathophysiological differences are largely unexplored. We aimed to investigate etiology and tilt table test (TTT)-induced hemodynamic responses in symptomatic OH patients.
