Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome: clinical presentation, etiology and management. It may be inferred from this preliminary study that NASA 10- minute Lean Test can be used to diagnose POTS.įedorowski A. POTS group had significantly higher HR than the non-POTS group. During upright posture, there was a significant difference in maximum upright HR between the two groups (P<0.0001), the highest increment in upright HR also differed significantly (P<0.0001). There was a significant difference in resting HR between the two groups (P<0.0001). However, the number of females with features of POTS was greater than males. There was a significant difference in BMI (P<0.0001) between the POTS and non-POTS groups. Characteristics of the POTS group were compared with the non-POTS group. Adolescents with symptoms of OI were enrolled for this study, and the NASA 10-minute Lean Test was performed. This cross-sectional study was conducted at Government Medical College, Srinagar, JK, India, between October 2017 and November 2019.
This study aimed to determine POTS in adolescents using the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) 10-minute Lean Test. Look for a neurologist or cardiologist who specializes in POTS.Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a form of autonomic imbalance characterized by abnormally increased heart rate (HR) and various symptoms of orthostatic intolerance (OI). Most autonomic specialists are either neurologists or cardiologists, but not all of them are familiar with POTS. You need to find a doctor who is a specialist in the autonomic nervous system, which is the system affected by POTS. If after the Standing Test you still suspect POTS, please contact an autonomic specialist. In many POTS patients, there will be a decrease in blood pressure by up to 20/10 mmHg when standing. If you have an automatic blood pressure cuff at home, you can use it to monitor blood pressure and pulse for you. You can use the Stand Test for POTS app to track changes in heart rate during this test. If the heart rate is greater than 120 beats per minute at any point while standing, POTS might be indicated.Īdults age > 19, an increase in heart rate of 30 beats per minute or more between laying and standing may indicate POTS.Ĭhildren and teens age <19, an increase in heart rate of of 40 beats per minute or more when standing, it may be POTS.
