Study Summary
This study will conduct tests with patients with primary chronic orthostatic intolerance (COI) to learn more about this disorder of the autonomic nervous system. Healthy normal volunteers and patients 18 years of age and older with COI may be eligible for this study. Participants undergo one or more of the following tests and procedures: * Blood studies, including arterial catheter insertion to measure blood pressure and collect arterial blood samples, blood flow studies using sensors applied to the skin and a pressure cuff around a limb, blood volume studies using injection of radioactively labeled human serum albumin and gene studies to look for genetic abnormalities associated with certain proteins. * Imaging studies, including CT scan of the adrenal glands, heart ultrasound, and PET scanning. * Electrocardiogram * Microdialysis to measures levels of chemicals in the body fluid of certain tissues. A thin tube is inserted into the skin and a solution is passed through it. Chemicals in the body tissues enter the solution in the tube. The solution is collected and the chemical levels are measured. * Neck suction. Neck suction is applied to test a reflex the brain uses to regulate blood pressure. * Perometry. Limb volume is measured using an infrared light that moves up the limb. * Quantitative sudomotor axon reflex test to evaluate an aspect of autonomic nervous system function. A small amount of a brain chemical (acetylcholine) is applied to the skin with a tiny amount of electricity, and the sweat in a nearby patch of skin is measured. * Skin electrical conduction test using sensors on the skin to measure sweat production. * Skin and core temperature measurements using sensors on the skin and in the ear canal. * Tilt table test. The subject lies on a table, secured with straps around the chest and legs. Sensors are placed on the arms and chest to monitor blood pressure, pulse rate, and heart rhythm. A catheter is placed in a vein in each arm to collect blood sam
