Validation of the new index of baroreflex function to identify neurogenic orthostatic hypotension.

CONCLUSION: In our cohort, the ΔHR/ΔSBP ratio had a good sensitivity but a limited specificity to identify NOH. This easily applicable test may represent a valuable screening tool in a clinical setting to identify patients who need further detailed autonomic testing to confirm the neurogenic origin of OH.
