nitrates has been researched along with Hypotension, Orthostatic in 4 studies

Nitrates: Inorganic or organic salts and esters of nitric acid. These compounds contain the NO3- radical.

Hypotension, Orthostatic: A significant drop in BLOOD PRESSURE after assuming a standing position.

"In older adults with dementia, OH-related syncopal falls are significantly related to treatment with nitrates, combinations of ACE-Is and diuretics, and combinations of ACE-Is and nitrates."3.88Hypotensive Drugs and Syncope Due to Orthostatic Hypotension in Older Adults with Dementia (Syncope and Dementia Study). ( Abete, P; Bellelli, G; Bo, M; Ceccofiglio, A; Curcio, F; Landi, F; Martone, AM; Mussi, C; Nicosia, F; Noro, G; Riccio, D; Testa, G; Ungar, A, 2018)
"Syncope due to orthostatic hypotension (OH) refers to loss of consciousness caused by hypotension induced by the upright position; it is an important risk factor for fall-related physical injuries, especially in the elderly adults."1.35Orthostatic hypotension as cause of syncope in patients older than 65 years admitted to emergency departments for transient loss of consciousness. ( Bartoletti, A; Brignole, M; Furlan, R; Giada, F; Lagi, A; Maggi, R; Menozzi, C; Mussi, C; Ponassi, I; Re, G; Salvioli, G; Ungar, A, 2009)
