BEYOND ORTHOSTATIC VITALS
THE NEXT STEP
Recognizing autonomic dysfunction starts with the basics: a patient reporting dizziness, fainting, or racing heartbeat on standing, and a supine-to-standing blood pressure and heart rate check. Those orthostatic vitals are the right first step, and they remain the front line. But a single snapshot can miss intermittent or subtle autonomic dysfunction, and it cannot quantify how the autonomic nervous system is performing over time. Increasingly, practices want objective, repeatable data to support evaluation and to follow how a patient changes across visits. That is the gap autonomic diagnostics fill. They do not replace the bedside check. They give you measurable, in-office insight that sits between the vitals cuff and the specialist referral.

THE CONSULTATIVE DIFFERENCE
BETTER DATA, EARLIER CONVERSATIONS
Objective, in-office data supports earlier and more confident conversations with patients and families. Repeatable baselines let you track the course of an established treatment path or changes that develop outside a care plan. Also, bringing this assessment in-office means fewer handoffs and a smoother experience for the patients who need a closer look. We have more than 20 years experience helping practices source the right diagnostic tools from more than 300 manufacturers. As a master distributor our role is consultative: helping you choose what genuinely fits your patient population, your workflow, and your goals. One conversation, one source.
