Early versus late postural tachycardia: a re-evaluation of a syndrome.
Postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) involves an HR-rise within 10 minutes of head-up tilt. Hypokinetic circulation, older age, and ACE-inhibitor or Angiotensin-Receptor Blockers were associated with "Late" POTS (after 10 minutes of tilt) versus "Early" POTS (within 10 minutes of tilt).
