Abstract BACKGROUND: A subset of patients with postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) are thought to have a primary hyperadrenergic cause. We assessed clinical biomarkers to identify those that would benefit from sympatholytic therapy. METHODS: We measured sympathetic function (supine muscle...

Rachel, the founder of Awareness for POTSies, has developed an online pilot self-advocacy program as a part of her doctoral training at The George Washington University. It's free to sign up at the moment. https://www.awarenessforpotsies.org/self-advocacy-program I'd like to warmly recommend...

Introduction: Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome is a debilitating disorder. We compared paediatric patients with this dysautonomia presenting with and without peak upright heart rate > 100 beats per minute. Materials and methods: Subjects were drawn from the Postural Orthostatic...

Highlights POTS causes cardiovascular instability and severe symptoms. Postural hyperventilation is thought to cause POTS, but the mechanisms are unclear. Reduced stroke volume and brain perfusion drive postural hyperventilation in POTS. Stroke volume and brain perfusion should be targeted as...

Abstract Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) occurs in approximately 30% of people with highly symptomatic post-COVID-19 condition (PCC). It involves several symptoms that limit physical and psychological functions and cause reduced quality of life. Evidence for different...

Authors: Cathy L. Pederson, Rachel E. Wilson Abstract Intensive, hospital-based rehabilitation programs are recommended for many POTS patients. Electronic surveys were taken by 1,130 POTS patients to assess the long-term effects of these programs, including a demographic questionnaire, the...

I've written an overview of the problems with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) criteria. https://mecfsskeptic.com/the-problems-with-pots/ A brief summary of the arguments looks like this: A heart rate increase of 30 bpm (or 40 bpm in 12–19-year-olds) is far from abnormal. Many...

Abstract Although diagnostic criteria have been developed characterizing postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), no single set of criteria is universally accepted. Furthermore, there are gaps in the present criteria used to identify individuals who have this condition. The...

Abstract Background: The postural tachycardia syndrome is a common disorder that is characterized by chronic orthostatic symptoms and a dramatic increase in heart rate on standing, but that does not involve orthostatic hypotension. Several lines of evidence indicate that this disorder may result...

Abstract To characterize the idiopathic postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), we reviewed the records of all patients aged 20 to 51 who presented to the Mayo Autonomic Reflex Laboratory and who exhibited tachycardia at rest or during head-up tilt. These patients were usually women...

I'd love to see a discussion about the different kinds of abnormalities of heart rate and blood pressure during tilt testing that Frans Visser talked about on the NIH ME/CFS Research Roadmap: Circulation Webinar (January 11, 2024): - POTS - Orthostatic hypotension - Syncope - No POTS, normal...
