Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a common form of autonomic dysregulation characterized as an excessive tachycardia upon standing in the presence of orthostatic intolerance.[1][2][3] Current adult diagnostic criterion requires a heart rate increase of greater than or equal to 30 bpm within the initial 10 minutes of standing or head-up tilt (HUT) in the absence of orthostatic

The main characteristic of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is tachycardia when standing, without a drop in blood pressure. Patients describe lightheadedness and palpitations when upright, particularly when standing, which sometimes leads to syncope. Patients may experience impaired quality of life and functional disability

Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a chronic, debilitating disorder of the autonomic nervous system that is widely underdiagnosed by healthcare professionals and has a devastating impact on the quality of patients' daily lives.1,2 The incidence of POTS in developed countries varies from 0.2% to 1% with up to 3 million cases in the US alone.1,3 POTS significantly impacts

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is a heterogeneous condition where sufferers often present with a variety of orthostatic and non-orthostatic symptomatology. The condition can result in significant functional limitations and reduced quality of life. Diagnosis is based upon patient history in combination with a simple test such

Introduction. Postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a multifactorial disorder defined by an increase in heart rate ≥ 30 bpm within 10 minutes of a change from the supine position to an upright position (or during a head-up tilt test to at least 60°), in the absence of orthostatic hypotension. 1 This response is accompanied by a decrease in blood flow to the brain.

The following are key points to remember from this review article about postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS): POTS is a syndrome of orthostatic intolerance characterized by a heart rate increment of ≥30 bpm, often with standing heart rates >120 bpm, within 10 minutes of standing or head-up tilt, and in the absence of orthostatic hypotension (a decrease in systolic blood pressure

POTS is defined as the presence of chronic symptoms of orthostatic intolerance (≥6 months) accompanied by an increased heart rate (HR) ≥30 bpm within 10 minutes of assuming an upright posture (Figure 1) and in the absence of orthostatic hypotension (blood pressure [BP] fall >20/10 mmHg). 1,2 In children and adolescents, a higher threshold

Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is an increasingly well-recognized condition encountered in clinical practice. Diagnosis and treatment remain extremely challenging. The limited success of currently available therapies has laid the foundation for a number of experimental therapies.

Postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is one type of orthostatic intolerance. In some people, orthostatic intolerance occurs because of a failure in only 1 of the 3 compensatory actions mentioned previously. In these cases, the other 2 compensatory actions will increase markedly as a way of making up for the loss of the third.

Introduction. Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a common, although not so well-known variant of cardiovascular autonomic disorder characterized by an excessive heart rate increase on standing, symptoms of orthostatic intolerance and occasional syncope 1-4.The syndrome affects younger individuals, with a distinct predominance of women (≈80%) 3, 5.

Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome can be challenging to live with. Here are some things you can do to take care of yourself: Be open and honest with loved ones about your diagnosis of POTS. Talk about your fears, hopes, struggles and challenges with the condition. Encourage the people who support you to learn more about POTS.

In POTS, orthostatic symptoms (tremulousness, lightheadedness, palpitations, visual disturbances, weakness, fatigue, anxiety, hyperventilation, nausea) develop with a significant tachycardia (an increase of 30 beats/min or more or a heart rate of 120 beats/min or more) within 10 minutes of standing, in the absence of postural hypotension or an autonomic neuropathy.

Abstract. Patients with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) experience an excessive increase in heart rate (HR) and low-frequency (∼0.1 Hz) blood pressure (BP) and HR oscillations upon head-up tilt (HUT). These responses are attributed to increased baroreflex (BR) responses modulating sympathetic and parasympathetic signalling.
