"In 1978, Vanderbilt University Medical Center became the first institution to establish a clinic devoted exclusively to the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of blood pressure regulation. In the years since then, under the leadership of Drs. David Robertson and Italo Biaggioni, this Autonomic Dysfunction Clinic has gained broad experience in the pathophysiology of orthostatic hypotension and has become the major referral center in North America for patients with various forms of hypotension. More and than 40% of referred patients come from beyond a 500 mile radius of Nashville, some from abroad.

Investigators in Vanderbilt's Autonomic Dysfunction Center have identified previously unrecognized disorders producing orthostatic hypotension, including most recently dopamine-B-hydroxylase deficiency, a syndrome in which patients have a congenital absence of norepinephrine and epinephrine. The investigators have also introduced novel therapeutic modalities for the management of orthostatic hypotensive patients."

They also have a link to the Parkinson's Internet Mailing list

I felt that the list was important enough to make a second link in case the above is down when you try.

There is also an archive of this mail list at gopher://vm.utcc.utoronto.ca:70/11/listserv/parkinsn
