Letter re: Effects of orthostatic hypotension on cognition in Parkinson disease

We read with interest the article by Centi et al.,1 which investigated the relation between orthostatic hypotension (OH) and posture-mediated cognitive impairment in 18 patients with idiopathic Parkinson disease (PD) with OH (PDOH) and 19 patients with PD without OH and 18 controls.1 The authors demonstrated that, during upright posture, PDOH exhibited a transient wider range of deficits in executive function, memory, and visuospatial function in excess of those found in PD without OH.
