Symptomatic orthostatic hypotension due to standing mid-left ventricular obstruction: a case report

This case underscores the importance of considering mechanisms beyond autonomic dysfunction and volume depletion in the aetiology of OH in elderly patients. Notably, this is the first documented case of OH associated with MVO occurring in an upright posture, resulting in a significant decrease in cardiac output and subsequent syncope. Preventing volume depletion and using non-vasodilating beta-blockers may represent optimal therapeutic strategies in such cases.
