Postural hyperventilation in patients with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS): Effects of posture versus tidal volume versus hypocapnia on heart rate
FY 2023-24
Summary
Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is a disorder of the autonomic nervous system. POTS is charaterized by excessive upright heart rate increase and chronic upright symptoms. Some POTS patients experience postural hyperventilation which worsens heart rate and symptoms. Postural hyperventilation has 3 components. These include postural changes, increased breathing depth and decreased blood carbon dioxide (hypocapnia). We will test which components of postural hyperventilation increases heart rate. This study will help identify possible therapeutic targets to reduce heart rate in patients.
