Study Summary

Compression garments have been shown to be effective in the treatment of orthostatic hypotension in autonomic failure patients. The purpose of this study is to determine the hemodynamic mechanisms by which abdominal compression (up to 40 mm Hg) improve the standing blood pressure and orthostatic tolerance in these patients, and to compare them with those of the standard of care midodrine. The investigators will test the hypothesis that abdominal compression will blunt the exaggerated fall in stroke volume and the increase in abdominal vascular volume during head up tilt.

Primary Outcome

Percent change from supine in stroke volume during head up tilt

Interventions

  • DRUG Placebo pill
  • OTHER Abdominal compression
  • OTHER Sham abdominal compression
  • DRUG midodrine
