Orthostatic Hypotension in Parkinsonian Symdromes (MSA, PD, and LBD)

Join Dr. Mitch Miglis, Clinical Associate Professor of Neurology at Stanford, for an in-depth discussion on orthostatic hypotension (OH) in Parkinson’s disease, multiple system atrophy (MSA), and Lewy body dementia (LBD). Dr. Miglis describes causes, how OH is diagnosed (including through at-home blood pressure checks), symptoms, and both non-drug and medication-based management strategies. The presentation concludes with an audience Q&A covering real-life scenarios and treatment considerations. Candy Welch, with Brain Support Network's MSA Caregiver Support Group, is the moderator. Hosted by the Multiple System Atrophy Center of Excellence at Stanford, Stanford Movement Disorders Center and Brain Support Network.
