Abstract

Recent literary data reports an increase in the prevalence of orthostatic hypotension (ОН) with age and with the presence of comorbidities. In addition, ОН is associated with a high risk of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events and may contribute to cognitive impairment and the onset of dementia. Moreover, OH is one of the main risk factors for falls, especially among elderly patients. The review covers recent national and foreign studies focusing on this problem, and presents an updated definition of ОН, its modern classification, pathophysiology, peculiarities of the ОН course in the elderly, guidelines on OH diagnosis and treatment. Particular attention is given to the secondary ОН, commonly known as drug-induced ОН. Its prevalence increases with increased number of medications taken. A list of drugs that may induce ОН and treatment approaches to polypragmasia are provided.
