What does postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome?

Postural tachycardia syndrome (PoTS) is an abnormal increase in heart rate that occurs after sitting up or standing. Some typical symptoms include dizziness and fainting. It's sometimes known as postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome.

What is another name for POTS Syndrome?

However, POTS is not a new illness; it has been known by other names throughout history, such as DaCosta's Syndrome, Soldier's Heart, Mitral Valve Prolapse Syndrome, Neurocirculatory Asthenia, Chronic Orthostatic Intolerance, Orthostatic Tachycardia and Postural Tachycardia Syndrome.

What are the different types of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome?

There are two main forms of POTS:Partial dysautonomic - Patients appear to have mild damage to nerves that affect involuntary bodily function (peripheral autonomic neuropathy), such as the heartbeat. ... Hyperadrenergic - a less common type of POTS that appears more gradually and to have a genetic component.

Is POTS the same as postural hypotension?

POTs is defined by a fast pulse on standing, and is not the same as orthostatic hypotension (low blood pressure on standing), or syncope (passing out in any position).

What is the difference between POTS and dysautonomia?

What is POTS? POTS is a form of dysautonomia — a disorder of the autonomic nervous system. This branch of the nervous system regulates functions we don't consciously control, such as heart rate, blood pressure, sweating and body temperature.

What causes POTS syndrome?

Patients may develop POTS after a viral illness, serious infections, medical illness, pregnancy and trauma such as head injury. The condition may develop as aftermath of a significant illness (especially associated with hospitalization and prolonged immobilization).

How do you get a POTS diagnosis?

To make an accurate diagnosis, he typically performs a physical exam and blood work to rule out other causes, as well as a tilt table test, the gold standard for diagnosing POTS. As patients transition from a prone to upright position on the table, those with POTS experience dramatic increases in heart rate.

What is the best treatment for POTS Syndrome?

While some people with POTS will require medications, most will improve with three behavioral changes alone: higher sodium (salt) intake, compression garments, and gradual exercise.

What can mimic POTS syndrome?

A pheochromocytoma can mimic POTS (or vice versa) because of the paroxysms of hyperadrenergic symptoms including palpitation, although pheochromocytoma patients are more likely to have these symptoms while supine than POTS patients. Plasma or urinary metanephrines22 can screen for pheochromocytoma.

What is the difference between POTS and vasovagal syncope?

In patients with POTS, during upright tilt, sympathetic tone increases, there is an early and sustained tachycardia, and patients complain of presyncope without frank syncope. In contrast, patients with VVS experience delayed symptoms and abrupt drops in BP and HR and are more likely to lose consciousness.

What is the difference between vasovagal syncope and orthostatic hypotension?

Abbreviations: BP, blood pressure; HR, heart rate. A striking difference between nOH and VVS is the different hemodynamic patterns during tilt table tests....Table 1.FeaturesVasovagal SyncopeNeurogenic Orthostatic HypotensionOrthostatic Hypotension+/− (usually only at time of faint)+++++6 more rows

What is the opposite of POTS syndrome?

Dysautonomia is the medical term for when the autonomic nervous system (ANS) does not work as it should. The symptoms vary widely, but they can include fainting, low blood pressure, and breathing problems.

What is postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome?

Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a form of autonomic dysfunction with orthostatic intolerance that affects up to 1% of adolescents with chronic fatigue, dizziness, and, often, gastrointestinal discomfort or other forms of chronic pain. With treatment, most patients can fully recover and return to normal life activities.

What are the symptoms of a POTS?

Nausea and gastro-intestinal symptoms are common in POTS. Medication management of delayed gastric emptying and the dysmotility associated with irritable bowel syndrome (functional gastrointestinal disorder) are commonly experienced with POTS.

Is POTS a functional disorder?

Functional disorder ( Lacking a specific diagnostic test, POTS is a functional disorder, as is migraine headache. Affected patients may have other functional disorders such as chronic pain or functional GI or neurologic disorder.)

Can you have postural tachycardia without a POTS?

Similar symptoms without excessive postural tachycardia indicate orthostatic intolerance but not POTS; the treatment would be identical to the treatment of POTS except that medications are not needed for orthostatic intolerance when there is not excessive postural tachycardia.
