Abstract

Postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) patients exhibit signs of cerebral hypoperfusion, which is related to a decline in cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFv). End tidal CO2 has profound effects on CBFv. A decline in CBFv in POTS is mainly due to hypocapnia. This is a common finding in POTS.
