Why the study?
Postural tachycardia syndrome has been increasingly reported following SARS-CoV-2 infection as a possible form of dysautonomia explaining chronic symptoms in long-COVID.
This review discusses the available literature on postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) as a form of dysautonomia in patients with post-acute COVID-19.
Reports of post-COVID POTS warrant clinical vigilance for orthostatic intolerance; leaves open incidence, mechanisms, and management.
While the acute illness of COVID-19 was the initial focus of concern, there are increasing reports of patients with chronic symptoms, known as long-COVID. Dysautonomia may be a possible post-acute neurological complication explaining the persistent symptoms observed in long COVID. Postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS), a form of dysautonomia characterized by sustained tachycardia and orthostatic intolerance, has been increasingly reported in patients after SARS-CoV-2 infection. In this context, this review aimed to report and discuss the available literature pertaining to post COVID-19 POTS.
