Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia SyndromeUnderstanding the Science, Diagnosis, and Evidence-Based Management of POTSPostural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) presents a complex challenge in autonomic medicine, requiring an understanding of cardiovascular physiology, autonomic dysfunction, diagnostic interpretation, and individualized clinical management.This book delivers a clinically focused examination of POTS, connecting the science of autonomic regulation with the practical demands of diagnosis, treatment, and long-term care.From orthostatic physiology and diagnostic criteria to differential diagnosis, associated conditions, pharmacological treatment, exercise rehabilitation, and emerging research, it examines the mechanisms and clinical considerations that shape contemporary understanding of the disorder.Particular attention is given to connective tissue disorders, mast cell activation, post-viral illness, and Long COVID, with consideration of current evidence and areas of ongoing scientific uncertainty.Written for physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, medical trainees, allied health professionals, and advanced readers seeking a deeper scientific understanding, this book integrates POTS diagnosis, autonomic dysfunction, and evidence-based management within a coherent clinical framework.
