Key inclusion & exclusion criteria
|
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients who have been previously diagnosed with POTS
- Control subjects (patients not diagnosed with POTS)
- Age between 18 - 60 years
- Males and Females (Give that >80% of POTS patients are female, we will attempt to
enroll a similar percentage of female control subjects)
- Able and willing to provide consent
Exclusion Criteria:
- Smokers
- Overt cause for postural tachycardia, i.e., acute dehydration
- Significant cardiovascular, pulmonary, hepatic, or hematological disease by history or
prior testing
- Highly trained athletes
- Subjects with somatization or severe anxiety symptoms will be excluded
- Use of drospirenone (a spironolactone analogue) containing oral contraceptive agent
- Hypertension defined as supine resting BP>145/95 mmHg off medications or needing
antihypertensive medication
- Other factors which in the investigator's opinion would prevent the participant from
completing the protocol, including poor compliance during previous studies or an
unpredictable schedule
- Unable to give informed consent
Age minimum:
