    • Abstract:
      Orthostatic hypotension (OH) commonly affects the elderly and can be challenging to manage. Its symptomology can be variable and is induced by decreased cerebral perfusion. Here, we present a complex yet compelling case of a patient with refractory OH, focusing on delineating current medical therapies and pathophysiology for in-training medical professionals.
