Abstract

Orthostatic tachycardia may be due to several physiologic abnormalities. Normal regulation of cardiac frequency in relation to postural changes is described; main causes of orthostatic tachycardia are described, in particular hypovolemia, beta-adrenergic hypersensitivity and segmental autonomic neuropathy. The current therapeutic attitudes are discussed.
