Exploring quality of life in postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome: A conceptual analysis.
Autonomic Neuroscience : Basic & Clinical 2024 Februrary 13
Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is a complex autonomic disorder characterized by an abnormal increase in heart rate upon orthostatic change. While primarily described in its effect on the autonomic and cardiovascular system, it can cause significant functional impairment, leading to a diminished quality of life (QoL). This review paper aims to delve into the multifaceted dimensions of QoL in individuals with POTS by providing a conceptual model to discuss factors influencing QoL. Current QoL assessments used in the POTS population and their findings are described for each domain in this conceptual model. Limitations to this body of research include the literature having no consensus in the most appropriate measure of QoL to use for individuals with POTS, the absence of a POTS-specific measure of QoL, and current measures not assessing concerns germane to this population. The authors emphasize the necessity of a POTS-specific measure to be developed to improve our assessment and understanding of how living with POTS impacts QoL.
