Pediatric POTS and OI patients have decreased exercise capacity, exaggerated HR responses, and blunted HR recovery compared to healthy peers, with no difference between POTS and OI.
Does cardiopulmonary exercise testing reveal differences in exercise capacity and heart rate kinetics between pediatric patients with POTS/OI and healthy peers?
Decreased time to peak heart rate during exercise testing may explain exercise intolerance in pediatric POTS/OI and serve as a useful metric for exercise prescription and outcome tracking.

Pediatric POTS and OI patients have decreased exercise capacity, exaggerated submaximal HR responses, and blunted HR recovery compared with healthy peers. Exercise capacity and HR kinetics did not differ between POTS and OI patients. Decreased time to peak HR may explain some of the exercise intolerance observed in pediatric patients with POTS and OI and may be a helpful metric for exercise prescription and outcome tracking.
