Augmented ocular vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials in postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome

ConclusionsAugmented utricular inputs may be associated with a relative predominance of sympathetic over vagal control of BP and HR, especially for an early response during orthostasis in patients with POTS. Overt sympathoexcitation due to exaggerated utricular input and lack of readaptation may be associated with the pathomechanism of POTS.
