Non-invasive Vagus Nerve Simulation in Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome

Non-invasive Vagus Nerve Simulation in Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome

Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is characterised by persistent symptoms ( ≥6 months) of orthostatic intolerance associated with an inappropriate increase in heart rate (HR; ≥30 BPM in adults and ≥40 BPM in children and adolescents) without any orthostatic hypotension (blood pressure fall>20/10  mmHg) on assuming an upright posture.1 Other than symptoms of increased HR (palpita...
