The two scientific societies FADOI and SIIA have decided to start a collaborative study protocol that, through the application of a simple and homogeneous method to diagnose orthostatic hypotension, aims to estimate prevalence, conditions associates and outcomes in a cohort of patients admitted to Internal Medicine Departments and with known or newly diagnosed arterial hypertension.
The IP-OP study, is an observational, multicenter, prospective, national study that provides for the involvement of 34 Operating Units of Internal Medicine, and the recording of data relating to 1000 hospitalized adults. The clinical data of all consecutive patients diagnosed with arterial hypertension hospitalized in Internal Medicine and able to take the erect station will be collected.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment

There will not be any experimental intervention. The study will be conducted according with normal clinical practice
