Consensus statements

Assessment for risk factors for falls is beneficial in all frail patients.
Non-accidental falls which are unexplained should be investigated as per syncope in accordance with the 2018 ESC Guidelines for the diagnosis and management of syncope.
In patients with orthostatic intolerance, precise details of the pharmacotherapy, including non-cardiac medication should be collected.
In individuals with low blood pressure and/or orthostatic hypotension/intolerance, medications which lower blood pressure should be used with care and physicians could evaluate possible benefits deriving from medication withdrawal.
Falls risk should be monitored in patients prescribed antiarrhythmic medications.
Antiarrhythmic drugs which cause minimal effect on blood pressure are preferred.
