Patients with normal tilt table testing (they may have symptoms which precipitated the tilt, but in the end did not qualify as POTS, NMH, ETC.)

after review of tilt table results, this group will be the confirmed postural orthostatic tachycardic syndrome group patient

This group is comprised of patients with confirmed diagnosis of neurocardiogenic syncope on tilt

Patients with confirmed diagnosis neurally mediated hypotension

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome

Syncope, Vasovagal

Tilt Table With Suspected Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) Subjects

Tilt Table and Autonomic Testing in Suspected POTS Subjects

We will address the hypothesis that elevated supine MAP accompanies the CV dysautonomia in children presenting with symptoms of POTS.

We will identify neurohumoral characteristics for each group to establish the underlying mechanisms for the elevated supine MAP and the dysautonomia in these subjects leading to a more focused approach to treatment.
