ABSTRACT

Homem, 78 anos, com hipotensão ortostática neurogênica incapacitante não responsiva e terapêutica clássica, admitido em hospital para implantação de marca-passo atrial programável. Inicialmente, implantou-se marca-passo atrial temporário, a frequencia de 96 bpm (dia) e 60 bpm (noite). Observou-se melhora dos sintomas, justificando a implantação de marca-passo definitivo. Recomenda-se considerar esta modalidade terapeutica em idosos com hipotensão ortostática neurogênica sem taquicardia compensatória quando não houver resposta a tratamento clássico.


A 78-year-old male patient with incapacitating neurogenic orthostatic hypertension was admitted in hospital for implantation of programmable pacemaker after no response to classic treatment. The initial procedure consisted in implanting a temporary pacemaker at a frequency of 96 BPM in the morning and 60 BPM at night. A definitive pacemaker was implanted because of the improvement of symptoms. Such treatment modality is herein recommended for elderly patients suffering from neurogenic orthostatic hypotension without compensatory tachycardia when they show no positive response to the classic treatment.
