William P CheshirePublished in: Expert opinion on pharmacotherapy (2018)
Chemical pharmacotherapy of nOH is best individualized to the needs and condition of each patient and guided by the underlying pathophysiology, severity of orthostatic incapacity, and minimization of comorbidities such as nSH. The goal of therapy is to maintain cerebral perfusion and increase the patient's ability to engage in upright daily activities. Advances in pharmacogenetics and ambulatory devices hold promise.
