The high- and low-pressure baroreceptor reflexes are integral to the control of blood pressure by the autonomic nervous system. Tests of the integrity of these baroreflexes make it possible to identify the site of autonomic dysfunction in patients with orthostatic hypotension. Clinical characteristics and typical results of autonomic testing in patients with autonomic failure, with carotid sinus hypersensitivity, and with hyperadrenergic autonomic dysfunction are described in this review.
