This response is accompanied by a decrease in blood flow to the brain and hence a spectrum of symptoms as...

Postural Tachycardia Syndrome and Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia: Role of Autonomic Modulation and Sinus Node Automaticity

BACKGROUND Inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST) and postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) are 2 disorders characterized by sinus tachycardia. It is debated whether the pathophysiology of IST and POTS results from abnormal autonomic regulation or abnormal sinus node function. We hypothesized that intrinsic heart rate (IHR) after autonomic blockade would be increased in patients with IST but not ...

Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome in a patient with relapsing-remitting optic-spinal multiple sclerosis: A case report and discussion of possible mechanism

Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is characterized by orthostatic intolerance, a presentation of autonomic dysfunction which is frequently observed in the patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Nevertheless, to date, there have been a few studies focusing on POTS in MS patients and the underlying pathomechanism. We present a 28-year-old woman with relapsing-remitting opticspinal ...
