Key result
Pediatric patients with orthostatic hypotension exhibited increased heart rate alongside blood pressure falls during head-up tilt testing, differing significantly from those with POTS.
Observational (n=88)
No
Pediatric patients with orthostatic hypotension may exhibit a compensatory increase in heart rate alongside blood pressure drops, differing from typical adult presentations.
May aid differential diagnosis of pediatric syncope; leaves open prospective validation of neurophysiology tests.
Orthostatic Hypotension and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome in Children: Comparison of Clinical Features and Neurophysiology Test Purpose: The clinical characteristics and neuropsychological tests of orthostatic hypotension (OH) and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) in children were compared. Methods: From August 2011 to April 2015, we enrolled patients who visited hospital with dizziness or syncope. According to the results of head-up tilt test (HUTT), the patients were classified into 4 groups; OH group, POTS group, normal group I who had no orthostatic symptom during HUTT, and normal group II who had orthostatic symptom during HUTT. Results: Eighty-eight patients were enrolled with 11(12.5%) in OH group, 13(14.7%) in POTS group, 49(55.7%) in normal group I and 15(17.0%) in the normal group II.

김윤겸 et al. (2017) conducted an observational in Orthostatic Intolerance (Orthostatic Hypotension and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) (n=88). Orthostatic hypotension vs. Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome and normal response was evaluated on Temporal changes in systolic, diastolic, and mean blood pressure during head-up tilt test. Pediatric patients with orthostatic hypotension exhibited increased heart rate alongside blood pressure falls during head-up tilt testing, differing significantly from those with POTS.
