OBJECTIVE
To explore the clinical characteristics of the co-morbidity of vasovagal syncope (VVS) and postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) with allergic diseases in children.
METHODS
A re-trospective analysis was launched to summarize the clinical data of children with VVS and POTS. They were divided
Idiopathic orthostatic intolerance (OI) is characterized by adrenergic symptoms with standing. Changes in central sympathetic tone or in adrenoreceptor sensitivity could contribute to this syndrome. In OI patients and control subjects, we determined heart rate (HR) and systolic blood pressure (SBP)
The development of orthostatic hypotension and instability immediately after return from spaceflight has been a significant operational problem to astronauts for more than four decades. Significant reductions in stroke volume and peripheral vascular resistance contribute to ineffective maintenance
A fundamental human expectation is to stand upright. This exposes the cardiovascular system to gravitational forces, with a fall in pressure above heart level exposing organs such as the brain to impaired perfusion if adequate adaptive mechanisms are not activated. The autonomic nervous system plays
OBJECTIVE
Reports of the outcomes of syncope assessment across a broad spectrum of ages in a single population are scarce. It is our objective to chart the varying prevalence of orthostatic and neurocardiogenic syncope (NCS) as a patient ages.
METHODS
This was a retrospective study. All consecutive
BACKGROUND
Simulated microgravity produces sustained inhibition of sympathoneural release, turnover, and synthesis of norepinephrine (NE) and hypersensitization of beta-adrenergic pathways. These changes may explain the orthostatic intolerance experienced by astronauts returning from
Chronic nausea is a prevalent but poorly described symptom in adolescents. It often co-occurs with other functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) but may also present in isolation. A multitude of triggers and complex neural pathways underlie the sensation of nausea. These include
Objective: To detail common comorbidities and procedures performed to evaluate functional nausea in children.
Study design: In total, 63 children age 7-18 years seen in a
Stimulated by the widespread use of head-up tilt testing, transient episodes of neurocardiogenically mediated hypotension and bradycardia have become a well recognized cause of recurrent syncope and near syncope (generally referred to as neurally mediated syncope). On the other hand, a large
BACKGROUND
Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a constellation of signs and symptoms that occur when a patient is upright and relieved by recumbence. Currently, no drugs are labeled for the treatment for POTS. Droxidopa is an orally administered amino acid that is converted to
BACKGROUND
The joint hypermobility syndrome (JHS) is a common non-inflammatory connective tissue disorder which frequently co-exists with postural tachycardia syndrome (PoTS), a form of orthostatic intolerance. Gastrointestinal symptoms and dysmotility have been reported in PoTS. Dysphagia and
A tilt table test (TTT) is an inexpensive, noninvasive tool for the differential diagnosis of syncope and orthostatic intolerance and has good diagnostic yield. The autonomic system malfunction which underlines the reflex syncope is manifested as either hypotension or bradycardia, while an
