Search Contents: POTS Defined POTS and CFS Pathophysiology of POTS Return to Home Page 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 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.

Orthostatic Hypotension And Syncope Topics Orthostatic Hypotension Syncope Orthostatic Hypotension Orthostatic hypotension is not a specific disease but rather a manifestation of abnormal BP regulation due to various causes. Etiology and Pathophysiology The gravitational stress of sudden standing normally causes pooling of blood in the venous capacitance vessels of the legs and trunk. The subsequent transient decrease in venous return and cardiac output results in reduced BP. Baroreceptors in the aortic arch and carotid bodies activate autonomic reflexes that rapidly normalize BP by causing a transient tachycardia. These changes reflect primarily the sympathetic mediated increase in catecholamine levels, which augments vasomotor tone of the capacitance vessels, increases heart rate and myocardial contractility, and thereby enhances cardiac output; arterial and venous vasoconstriction are mediated by similar mechanisms. Vagal inhibition also increases the heart rate. With continued standing, ADH secretion and activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system cause Na and water retention and expansion of the circulating blood volume. When afferent, central, or efferent portions of the

The hypotension may be primary, or it may be secondary to a condition such as tachyarrhythmia or bradyarrhythmia. Vasovagal syncope describes this condition, as well as other conditions that are considered to be dysautonomic responses to upright posture, such as orthostatic hypotension and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). Bloomfield and associates reviewed the pathophysiology of these two causes of syncope and developed an algorithm to guide diagnosis and treatment. see the accompanying figure on page 2212 FIGURE. Vasovagal syncope and related disorders: a suggested algorithm for the diagnosis and treatment of vasovagal syncope and related disorders.

    Extractions: Syncope defined Causes Evaluation Prognosis Education Index Syncope (faint) is a sudden fall of blood pressure resulting in loss of consciousness. About 3% of the population have syncope at some point in life (Savage, 1985). Syncope also accounts for 3% of all emergency room visits and 6% of all hospital visits. Between 71 and 125 children and adolescents/100,000 population experience syncope each year. The incidence peaks in 1519 year olds (Driscoll, 1997). Presyncope consists of unsteadiness, weakness, or cognitive symptoms without loss of consciousness. It is often a symptom of orthostatic hypotension , and may also be a source of drop attacks (Dey et al, 1997). Arrythmia abnormal slowing or quickness of the heart hemodynamic obstruction to blood flow Neurally mediated In the differential diagnosis of syncope one must also consider non-cardiac causes of loss of consciousness: Common drugs that are associated with an excess risk of syncope in the elderly include

    Extractions: Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center Nearly half of all Americans will have one episode of syncope (fainting) in their lives. More than 100,000 patients per year present to a physician reporting repeated episodes. Syncope accounts for 3% of emergency room visits and 1% of hospitalizations. Depending on the cause of syncope, the prognosis varies from excellent to poor. Finding the cause of syncope and an effective treatment quickly are primary goals of the Syncope Center. The causes of syncope are myriad, but more than half of the episodes have a recognizable cardiovascular cause. In the absence of focal neurological symptoms or signs, a neurologic cause is rare. When structural heart disease is present, syncope often si gnals a mechanical or electrical cardiac cause. When structural heart disease is absent, a disorder of cardiovascular reflexes is the most likely cause of syncope. The causes of syncope are often categorized as: cardiovascular (arrhythmias, mechanical problems, abnormal cardiovascular reflexes)

    Extractions: EDUCACIÓN DEL PACIENTE Fainting (Syncope) Fainting is a sudden loss of consciousness. It most often occurs when the blood pressure is too low (hypotension) and the heart does not pump a normal supply of oxygen to the brain. Typically, a faint lasts only a few seconds or minutes, and then the person regains consciousness. The medical term for fainting is syncope (SIN koe pee). It is a common problem that affects one million people in the U.S. every year. About one-third of us will faint at least once during our lifetime. A single fainting spell usually is not serious. It may be explained by factors such as stress, grief, overheating, dehydration, exhaustion or illness. Many causes of fainting, however, are not easy to explain. Some are life-threatening. The most serious causes of syncope are related to heart damage or electrical system disorders that affect the heart's ability to pump blood efficiently. In some cases, fainting is the only warning sign of an abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia) that could cause sudden cardiac death. more If you faint suddenly and without explanation, however, contact your physician.
