2015, Multiple Sclerosis and Related DisordersCitation Excerpt :Acevedo et al. proposed including an abnormal response of blood pressure to orthostatic challenge as a marker of cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction (Acevedo et al., 2000). Studies using diverse orthostatic challenges to blood pressure through Tilt Testing have reported sensitivities ranging from 49% to 66% and specificities ranging from 50% to 90% to diagnose neurally mediated syncope (Kapoor et al., 1994; Kapoor and Brant 1992; Natale et al., 1995). Because looking for postural hypotension is a readily available bedside screening maneuver, with low cost for the health care system, it could be used to identify patients at higher risk of having autonomic dysfunction, although the absence of orthostatic hypotension should not be used to rule out dysautonomia.
