Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome: Diagnosis and treatment

Heart & Lung, 2011
Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is an autonomic disorder characterized by an exaggerated increase in heart rate that occurs during standing, without orthostatic hypotension. Women are most frequently affected, and may present with palpitations, chest discomfort, shortness of breath, weakness, exercise intolerance, lightheadedness ...

Use of Ivabradine in Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome

Journal of Atrial Fibrillation, 2010
Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is characterized by inappropriate increase in heart rate on assuming upright position from a supine position without a necessary drop in blood pressure. Etiology of this condition is complex and multifactorial. Autonomic dysfunction,[1] hypovolemia,[2] hyper responsiveness of beta adrenergic receptors[3]

Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome: an underrecognized disorder

Internal Medicine Journal, 2007
AbstractBackground: Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), a clinical syndrome of orthostatic intolerance characterized by excessive tachycardia and symptoms of cerebral hypoperfusion on standing, is not well recognized in Australia. The aim was to study the clinical symptomatology, results of autonomic testing and outcome in patients with ...

Droxidopa in the Treatment of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome

American Journal of Therapeutics, 2017
Background: Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a constellation of signs and symptoms that occur when a patient is upright and relieved by recumbence. Currently, no drugs are labeled for the treatment for POTS.

Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, and Overlapping Syndromes

PACE - Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, 2005
Background: Inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IAST) and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) are syndrome complexes with some distinctive features, overlapping clinical manifestations, and potential common mechanisms. Pathogenesis of these overlapping syndromes is poorly understood.

Idiopathic Orthostatic Intolerance and Postural Tachycardia Syndromes

The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 1999
Upright posture imposes a substantial gravitational stress on the body, for which we are able to compensate, in large part because of the autonomic nervous system. Alteration in autonomic function, therefore, may lead to orthostatic intolerance. On one extreme, patients with autonomic failure caused by degenerative loss of autonomic function are ...

[Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome].

Ugeskrift for laeger, 2017
Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome is a hetero-geneous condition of dysautonomia and suspected autoimmunity characterised by abnormal increments in heart rate upon assumption of the upright posture accompanied by symptoms of cerebral hypoperfusion and sympathoexcitation.

Erythropoietin in the Treatment of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome

American Journal of Therapeutics, 2012
Erythropoietin has been reported to improve symptoms of orthostatic intolerance in patients suffering from orthostatic hypotension. Previous reports on the use of erythropoietin in patients with postural orthostatic tachycardia (POTS) have included only a very small number of patients.

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome: A Clinical Review

Pediatric Neurology, 2010
Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome was defined in adult patients as an increase >30 beats per minute in heart rate of a symptomatic patient when moving from supine to upright position. Clinical signs may include postural tachycardia, headache, abdominal discomfort, dizziness/presyncope, nausea, and fatigue.
