Project description:Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is relatively common in the early stage of Parkinson's disease (PD). It is divided into delayed OH and classical OH. Classical OH in PD has been investigated widely, however, the clinical implications of delayed OH in PD have seldom been studied. The purpose of this study is to characterize delayed OH in PD. A total of 285 patients with early drug-naïve PD were enrolled and divided into three groups according to orthostatic change: no-OH, delayed OH, and classical OH. The disease severity in terms of motor, non-motor, and cognitive functions was assessed. The cortical thickness of 82 patients was analyzed with brain magnetic resonance imaging. The differences among groups and linear tendency in the order of no-OH, delayed OH, and classical OH were investigated. Seventy-seven patients were re-evaluated. Initial and follow-up evaluations were explored to discern any temporal effects of orthostasis on disease severity. Sixty-four (22.5%) patients were defined as having delayed OH and 117 (41.1%) had classical OH. Between-group comparisons revealed that classical OH had the worst outcomes in motor, non-motor, cognitive, and cortical thickness, compared to the other groups. No-OH and delayed OH did not differ significantly. Linear trends across the pre-ordered OH subtypes found that clinical parameters worsened along with the orthostatic challenge. Clinical scales deteriorated and the linear gradient was maintained during the follow-up period. This study suggests that delayed OH is a mild form of classical OH in PD. PD with delayed OH has milder disease severity and progression.

Project description:Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is a common and disabling symptom affecting Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. We present the effect of the different therapies commonly used to manage PD on this clinical manifestation. For this purpose, we describe the relationship between OH and the current treatments employed in PD, such as L-DOPA, dopaminergic agonists, and continuous dopaminergic stimulation therapies. Additionally, we review the therapeutic measures that could be used to ameliorate OH. There are different approaches to deal with this manifestation, including pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments, although none of them is specifically aimed for treating OH in PD.

Project description:BackgroundOrthostatic hypotension is common in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). However, it remains unknown whether orthostatic hypotension is a marker of prodromal PD or more advanced disease. The objectives of this study were to assess whether orthostatic hypotension is a prodromal marker of PD in the general population.MethodsThis study was embedded in the Rotterdam Study, a large prospective population-based cohort in the Netherlands. We measured orthostatic hypotension in 6910 participants. First, we determined the relation between prevalent PD and orthostatic hypotension using logistic regression. Second, we followed PD-free participants for the occurrence of PD until 2016 and studied the association between orthostatic hypotension and the risk of PD using Cox proportional hazards models. All models were adjusted for age and sex.ResultsAt baseline, the mean age ± standard deviation of the study population was 69.0 ± 8.8 years, and 59.1% were women. Orthostatic hypotension was present in 1245 participants (19.8%), and 62 participants (1.0%) had PD at the time of orthostatic hypotension measurement. Participants with PD were significantly more likely to have orthostatic hypotension (odds ratio, 1.88; 95% confidence interval, 1.09-3.24). During a median (interquartile range) follow-up of 16.1 years (8.5-22.7 years), 122 participants were diagnosed with incident PD. Orthostatic hypotension at baseline was not associated with an increased risk of PD (hazard ratio, 0.97; 95% confidence interval, 0.59-1.58).ConclusionsOur study suggests that orthostatic hypotension is common in patients with PD, but that orthostatic hypotension is not associated with an increased risk of PD and thus is not a prodromal marker of PD in the general population. © 2020 The Authors.

Project description:Background and methodsTo investigate the possible efficacy of an elastic abdominal binder to control orthostatic hypotension (OH) associated with Parkinson's disease (PD), 15 patients with PD and OH were enrolled in a single-blind crossover study with elastic abdominal versus placebo binder on two different days, separated by a 1-day interval, followed by a 4-week open-label follow-up.ResultsIntervention significantly reduced blood pressure fall upon tilting. The mean difference (standard deviation; 95% confidence intervals) between abdominal binder versus placebo was +10 mm Hg (10.2; +3.5, +16.5; P = 0.006). No significant effect on supine mean blood pressure values was observed compared to placebo (P = 0.3). Symptoms of OH decreased significantly during follow-up (P = 0.003), as assessed by means of the Orthostatic Hypotension Questionnaire.ConclusionsOur findings suggest that elastic abdominal binders may be a simple complementary tool to alleviate OH in PD.

Project description:Neurodegenerative change in the central nervous system has been suggested as one of the pathophysiological mechanisms of autonomic nervous system dysfunction in Parkinson's disease (PD). We analyzed gray matter (GM) volume changes and clinical parameters in patients with PD to investigate any involvement in the brain structures responsible for autonomic control in patients with PD having orthostatic hypotension (OH). Voxel-based morphometry was applied to compare regional GM volumes between PD patients with and without OH. Multivariate logistic regression analysis using a hierarchical model was carried out to identify clinical factors independently contributing to the regional GM volume changes in PD patients with OH. The Sobel test was used to analyze mediation effects between the independent contributing factors to the GM volume changes. PD patients with OH had more severe autonomic dysfunction and reduction in volume in the right inferior temporal cortex than those without OH. The right inferior temporal volume was positively correlated with the Qualitative Scoring MMSE Pentagon Test (QSPT) score, reflecting visuospatial/visuoperceptual function, and negatively correlated with the Composite Autonomic Severity Score (CASS). The CASS and QSPT scores were found to be factors independently contributing to regional volume changes in the right inferior temporal cortex. The QSPT score was identified as a mediator in which regional GM volume predicts the CASS. Our findings suggest that a decrease in the visuospatial/visuoperceptual process may be involved in the presentation of autonomic nervous system dysfunction in PD patients.

Project description:18F-Florbetaben is a tracer used to evaluate the metabolic activity of and amyloid accumulation in the brain when measured in early- and late-phase, respectively. The metabolism of neural substrates could be viewed as a network and might be an important factor in cognition. Orthostatic hypotension (OH) might play an indirect moderating role in cognition, and its latent influence could modify the inherent cognitive network. This study aimed to identify changes of cognitive connectivity according to orthostatic stress in patients with early Parkinson's disease (PD). This study included 104 early PD patients who were evaluated with a head-up tilt-test and18F-Florbetaben positron emission tomography (PET). Cognition was assessed with a comprehensive neuropsychological battery that gauged attention/working memory, language, visuospatial, memory, and executive functions. PET images were analyzed visually for amyloid deposits, and early-phase images were normalized to obtain standardized uptake ratios (SUVRs) of pre-specified subregions relevant to specific cognitive domains. The caudate nucleus was referenced and paired to these pre-specified regions. The correlations between SUVRs of these regions were assessed and stratified according to presence of orthostatic hypotension. Among the patients studied, 22 (21.2%) participants had orthostatic hypotension. Nineteen patients (18.3%) were positive for amyloid-β accumulation upon visual analysis. Moderate correlations between the caudate and pre-specified subregions were observed (Spearman's rho, range [0.331-0.545]). Cognition did not differ, but the patterns of correlation were altered when the disease was stratified by presence of orthostatic stress. In conclusion, cognition in early PD responds to hemodynamic stress by adapting its neural connections between regions relevant to cognitive functions.

Project description:IntroductionFatigue and orthostatic hypotension (OH) are common and disabling nonmotor symptoms (NMSs) of Parkinson's disease (PD), but none of the studies have reported on the longitudinal association between fatigue and OH.MethodsDrug-naïve PD patients were recruited from a hospital-based cohort and evaluated with the Parkinson Fatigue Scale (PFS), head-up tilt test, Unified PD Rating Scale, Hoehn and Yahr stage, Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Scale for Outcomes in PD-Autonomic (SCOPA-AUT), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory, PD Sleep Scale, and medications at the baseline and follow-up visits.ResultsA total of 80 patients were included, and the mean ages were 66.6 and 63.8 years in the fatigue and nonfatigue groups, respectively. The prevalence of fatigue was 17.5% (14/80) at the baseline and follow-up (mean follow-up: 23.3 ± 9.9 months). The prevalence of OH in the fatigue group was 57.1%, and it was significantly higher than that of the nonfatigue group. Six of the 14 patients (42.9%) in the fatigue group had persistent fatigue at the follow-up, and eight of them (57.1%) converted to the nonfatigue group. Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that the changes of BDI and the presence of OH at the baseline were the predictors for fatigue in drug-naïve PD.ConclusionFatigue is a common NMS in PD but can vary depending on the disease course. OH and depression are the most relevant predictors for the development of fatigue in drug-naïve PD. The present study suggests that the management of autonomic symptoms and depression might be helpful for managing fatigue in PD.

Project description:BackgroundBoth measured orthostatic hypotension and symptomatic orthostasis are common in PD but their relationship is unclear.ObjectiveWe aim to determine clinical predictors of both measured orthostatic hypotension and reported symptomatic orthostasis in PD, including the impact of "on"/"off" status and seasons, and to determine the correlation between measured OH and subjective orthostasis.MethodsWe analyzed BP readings, demographic and disease state predictors for both 1. Measured blood pressure OH criteria and 2. The subjective report of orthostatic symptoms, using logistic regression analyses from an initial "on" motor state clinical visit in all PD patient visits. We then correlated subjective orthostasis symptoms with BP measurements. We also compared intra-subject BP measures in PD patients seen in both "on" and "off" states, and when seen "on" in both summer and winter.Results723 consecutive visits over 2 years identified 250 unique PD individuals. Subjective orthostasis was reported by 44 % and "on" measured OH (>20 drop in SBP or 10 DBP upon standing) was seen in 30 %. Measured OH did not significantly correlate with any assessed clinical feature or specific medicine. Subjective orthostasis correlated most with older age, dementia, and L-dopa use. Subjective orthostasis correlated equally with absolute lower measured standing SBP and the drop in SBP from sitting to standing. Compared to the "off" state, "on" state showed lower sitting and standing SBP, more than DBP, but no significant change in BP drop upon standing. Seasons did not impact measured BP.ConclusionsBoth OH and symptomatic orthostasis are common. Dopaminergic medications did not cause traditionally defined OH but lowered all SBP (sitting and standing) and thus reduced pulse pressure, possibly by increasing arteriole compliance simply by reducing motor tone, as this BP-lowering effect may be specific to Parkinsonism.

Project description:Background: Orthostatic hypotension (OH) in Parkinson's disease (PD) can lead to falls, impair quality of life, and increase mortality. A trajectory analysis of OH could be useful to predict and prevent the hypotension incidence early. Methods: The longitudinal data of 660 patients with PD with disease duration up to 12 years were extracted from an integrated PD database. We used latent class mixed modeling (LCMM) to identify patient subgroups, demonstrating trajectories of changes in orthostatic blood pressure (BP) over time. The optimal number of subgroups was selected by several criteria including the Bayesian Information Criterion. Baseline information comparison between groups and backward stepwise logistic regression were conducted to define the distinguishing characteristics of these subgroups and to investigate the predictors for BP trajectory. Results: We identified three trajectories for each orthostatic change of systolic blood pressure (ΔSBP), namely, Class 1 (i.e., the increasing class) consisted of 18 participants with low ΔSBP that increased continuously during the follow-up; Class 2 (i.e., the low-stable class) consisted of 610 participants with low ΔSBP that remained low throughout the follow-up; and Class 3 (i.e., the high-stable class) consisted of 32 participants with high ΔSBP at baseline that was relatively stable throughout the follow-up. Several parameters differed among subgroups, but only male sex [odds ratio (OR) = 4.687, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.024-21.459], lower supine diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (OR = 0.934, 95% CI = 0.876-0.996), and lower level of total protein at baseline (OR = 0.812, 95% CI = 0.700-0.941) were significant predictors of an increasing ΔSBP trajectory. Conclusion: This study provides new information on the longitudinal development of ΔSBP in patients with PD with distinct trajectories of rapidly increasing, low-stable, and high-stable class. The parameters such as male sex, lower supine DBP, and lower total proteins help to identify the rapidly increasing class.
