Abstract
ABSTRACT: Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is characterized by an increase in heart rate greater than 30 bpm when standing during the first 10 minutes and the absence of orthostatic hypotension (1). The prevalence of POTS is 0.2% and it mainly affects young women (2). There is a relationship with another syndrome that produces tachycardia, inappropriate sinus tachycardia, with which it shares clinical characteristics (3). The diagnosis of POTS can be made with the tilt test (TILT), biomarkers and hemodynamic parameters. The purpose of treatment is to reduce symptoms since there is no cure (4).
