Signicant Microvascular Abnormalities Are Present in Autonomic Dysfunction: Results of a Prospective Study Sehreen Mumtaz, et. al. Abstract Purpose The prevalence and phenotype of capillaroscopic abnormalities in patients with autonomic nervous system dysfunction has not been investigated...

Dietary sodium and health: How much is too much for those with orthostatic disorders? Stock; Chelimsky; Edwards; Farquhar High dietary salt (NaCl) increases blood pressure (BP) and can adversely impact multiple target organs including the vasculature, heart, kidneys, brain, autonomic nervous...

Abstract Background Compression garments reduce heart rate and symptoms in patients with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome in an acute laboratory setting. Patients taking medications controlling heart rate have less benefit from compression than those not on medications. The...

Purpose: The exact etiology of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is still unknown but is likely heterogeneous and multifaceted, involving autoimmune, neuropathic, hypovolemic, and hyperadrenergic pathways. Recently, more research has been devoted to understanding POTS’s underlying...

Abstract BACKGROUND: Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a frequently diagnosed cardiovascular disorder after COVID-19 infection. POTS is characterized by the presence of excessive sinus tachycardia on standing without a fall in blood pressure (BP). We investigated the BP profile...

Pretty interesting opinion piece. Final author listed is Dr. Blair Grubb. here is an quote from it (my bolding): In summary, diagnostic criteria for POTS and other common autonomic disorders have been established and are vastly different from the diagnostic criteria of FND (Table 1)...

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...
