The authors report the successful control of labile hypertension associated with orthostatic hypotension in a 75-year-old male patient, by means of L-DOPS, a synthetic precursor of norepinephrine in combination with antihypertensive drugs. He had been known to be hypertensive for 15 years and developed a persistent floating sensation 2 years age. Despite good control of hypertension after admission, orthostatic hypotension was still observed. Passive tilt produced a blood pressure reduction of 60/20 mmHg. Spectral analysis of heart rate variability showed a disturbance in the activation of the sympathetic nervous system. Treatment with L-DOPS attenuated the blood pressure reduction in response to passive tilt (35/12 mmHg) and improved the sympathetic response. Because of an increase in blood pressure by L-DOPS, addition of either a calcium channel blocker or an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor was necessary. These combinations of treatment successfully controlled blood pressure as well as orthostatic hypotension.
