Key Points:
1. Test under the same situation in which the pt fainted.
2. Check blood pressures and heart rates first supine and then standing. Look for chronotropic incompetence.
3. Check supine-standing readings immediately, after 1 minute, and after 3 minutes. Autonomic failure patients have a delayed fall in BP.
