Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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 maybe syncope.

The most common complaints are dizziness, weakness, rapid heartbeat and palpitation on standing. Moreover, patients often report physical deconditioning and reduced exercise capacity as well as headache, brain fog, dyspnea, gastrointestinal disorders and musculoskeletal pain.

The etiology of POTS is largely unknown and three main hypotheses include an autoimmune disorder, abnormally increased sympathetic activity and catecholamine excess and sympathetic denervation leading to central hypervolemia and reflex tachycardia. The diagnostic criteria of POTS in this study is increasing hear rate from supine position to active standing by \> 30 beat per minute and positive poor mans man tilt table test.

On the other hand, Vasovagal Reflex Syncope is the most frequent cause of transient loss of consciousness . The vasovagal reaction consists of vasodilatation and a heart rate decrease. During prolonged standing, this reaction is triggered by a reduction of the central blood volume because of pooling in the lower body veins, sometimes combined with other provocative factors . Patients with reflex syncope may suffer from recurrent loss of consciousness. Most of those patients also experience frequent presyncope, which can be just as incapacitating as syncope itself. Vasovagal syncope is usually not a dangerous condition, because episodes are self-limiting. However, the quality of life of patients with recurrences can be seriously affected . The rapid loss of consciousness and the possibility of trauma tax the patients sense of physical control and self-esteem.
