title: [Autonomic dysfunction and orthostatic intolerance. Cardiologic diagnosis and treatment options].
abstract: Various disorders of autonomic circulatory control are characterized by symptoms of orthostatic intolerance and syncope. Since the introduction of tilt-table testing as a cardiac diagnostic tool by Kenny et al., definition of these disorders has changed significantly. This review summarizes the current knowledge of diagnosis and treatment of the syndromes of orthostatic intolerance.
