Successful long-term ambulatory norepinephrine infusions in a patient with pure autonomic failure

A Zekeridou et al. Clin Auton Res. 2015 Aug.

Abstract

We present a case study of a patient with pure autonomic failure who was successfully treated with ambulatory norepinephrine (NE) infusions over a 9-year-period of time before death occurred unexpectedly. Given this patient's response to the NE infusion treatment, we discuss the option of ambulatory NE infusions as a treatment for severe orthostatic hypotension that is refractory to common treatments.

Keywords: Norepinephrine infusions; PAF; Pure autonomic failure.
