Introduction: Idiopathic Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor disorders, akinesia or bradykinesia, rigidity, resting tremor and impaired posture reflexes or even frequent falls. In daily practice, an abnormal blood pressure profile is often observed in parkinsonian patients. In this study, we described the 24h blood pressure profile in our patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease. Methodology: This is a prospective and descriptive observational study of patients hospitalized from May to October 2016 for idiopathic Parkinson's disease at the Department of Neurology at Pontarlier Hospital. We included all patients with an UPDRS (Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale) score greater than 12 who made a consciousness (20%), isolated falls (12%), vertigo (11%), visual blur (8%), and other signs (25%). Conclusion: The particular clinical manifestations related to hypotension deserve more attention from us based on the interest of a systematic research in all the parkinsonian and related patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
