Abstract:
Orthostatic hypertension (OHT) is a common type of syncope in children, characterized by a highly complex neural reflex mechanism.It is closely associated with abnormalities in vascular endothelial function, disruptions in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, and reduced or deficient levels of vitamin D. However, the exact pathogenesis of OHT remains unclear.OHT has a relatively high incidence and may be a risk factor for hypertension and cardiovascular diseases in children, significantly impacting their physical and mental health.Nevertheless, the etiology and treatment of OHT are still in the exploratory stage.Therefore, a thorough exploration of OHT is essential.This review provided a brief overview of the pathogenesis and clinical diagnosis and treatment of OHT.
