Abstract:
Orthostatic hypotension （OH） is the main symptom of cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction in the elderly population，which often manifests as orthostatic dizziness，syncope，and traumatic falls. OH often has a poor prognosis and is one of the causes of cognitive impairment in the elderly，and therefore，it is important to explore the pathogenesis of OH and related interventions. The vestibular system participates in orthostatic blood pressure regulation through vestibular sympathetic reflex，and dysfunction of the vestibular system can lead to the dysfunction of orthostatic blood pressure regulation，which further leads to OH. Previous studies have shown that galvanic vestibular stimulation （GVS） can regulate the function of the cardiovascular system，and different stimulation parameters have different target effects on blood pressure. This article summarizes the role of vestibular system and GVS in orthostatic blood pressure regulation，in order to provide a reference for the future research on the application of GVS in the treatment of OH.
