News: New study confirms earlier research that gene expression is a way to test for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome CDC's earlier finding News: Research: Spinal Fluid Abnormalities in Patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Tachycardia means an extremely rapid heart rate, usually signified by a pulse rate of over 100 beats per minute (bpm). Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is clinically defined as a heart rate increase of 30 bpm or more from the supine (laying down) to the standing position within ten minutes or less. Patients with florid POT S develop tachycardia over 120 bpm within 5 minutes or less. Studies show that about 75% of POTS patients are women and that a genetic tendency to develop POTS is usually transferred from mother to daughter. For a correct diagnosis of POTS there must be an absence of any other known cause of tachycardia, such as a specific heart

Search Contents: POTS Defined POTS and CFS Pathophysiology of POTS Return to Home Page POTS Defined Patterns of heart rate and blood pressure variation are shown in the figure and are from our paper which was the first to directly discuss POTS in the pediatric population. goto top POTS and CFS POTS has been proposed as a mechanism for symptoms of the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in a series of adult patients. POTS and CFS may share a common pathophysiology particularly in the young . Recently, a review of patients with delayed orthostatic hypotension (delayed POTS) demonstrated a high degree of association with chronic fatigue. Our preliminary data have shown that POTS physiology underlies orthostatic intolerance in the large majority of adolescents with the chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). In those patients we demonstrated loss of heart rate variability consistent with vagal withdrawal, increased blood pressure variability consistent with enhanced modulation of sympathetic tone, and impaired baroreflex with a phase shift causing wide blood pressure swings uncompensated by compensatory HR changes. Preliminary vascular data suggest that these autonomic findings are associated with changes in arterial and venous properties of the lower limbs during orthostasis causing fluid collection in excess of ordinary "pooling" observed in control patients.

Click here to order bracelets! Dysautonomia literally means dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system is the master regulator of organ function throughout the body. It is involved in the control of heart rate, blood pressure, temperature, respiration, digestion and other vital functions. Dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system can produce the apparent malfunction of the organs it regulates. For this reason, dysautonomia patients often present with numerous, seemingly unrelated maladies. DINET provides information and personal stories on several types of dysautonomia, with a focus on the following: Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome Often more simply referred to as postural tachycardia syndrome, or POTS, this disorder is characterized by the body's inability to make the necessary adjustments to counteract gravity when standing up. The defining symptom of POTS is an excessive heart rate increment upon standing. However, as you will discover, there are a multitude of other symptoms that often accompany this syndrome. As such, POTS can be a difficult disorder to detect and understand.

Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (or POTS ) is a condition of orthostatic intolerance in which a change from the supine position to an upright position causes an abnormally high increase in heart rate. Contents History Symptoms Affected population Pathology ... edit History The syndrome was identified as such by Schondorf and Low in . Similar symptoms were collectively described as "idiopathic hypovolemia" by Fouad in edit Symptoms The sudden increase in heart rate upon standing is often accompanied by hypotension, and associated with dizziness, fatigue, and nausea. edit Affected population About 80 percent of patients diagnosed with POTS are female. edit Pathology The causes of POTS are not fully known. It is generally believed to be a case of dysautonomia . Its onset is sometimes associated with an inflammatory condition such as a viral infection. An overlap of symptoms with Chronic fatigue syndrome may suggest a pathological overlap in some cases.
