Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome for the otolaryngologist.
This resource provides an overview of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), focusing on its clinical presentation, pathophysiology, diagnostic approaches, and management strategies. It discusses how patients with POTS typically experience symptoms such as postural lightheadedness and dizziness, which can be linked to other conditions. The document reviews relevant literature and suggests both nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic treatments that target the disorder's underlying mechanisms. The resource is aimed at helping clinicians, particularly otolaryngologists, understand and manage POTS more effectively.
