Webinar: Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) – Overview and Focus on Non-Pharmacological Approaches February 11, 2021

1/10/2021

MedTach is pleased to announce an upcoming live webinar, organized by our partners at Finapres on POTS

ClicK Here To Register

Join researchers from the University of Calgary for a deep dive into the hemodynamic effects of compression in individuals affected by Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS).

Despite its relatively common presentation in the population POTS is a relatively misunderstood autonomic disease. Researchers and clinicians struggle to distinguish, diagnose and treat those affected by the condition.

During this webinar, Dr. Satish Raj and Ms. Kate Bourne from the University of Calgary will briefly overview POTS, including diagnostic criteria, common symptoms and highlights from a large patient community survey. Following, they will then outline some of the non-pharmacological approaches to the management of the patient with POTS. Throughout this webinar there will be particular emphasis on recent data on the hemodynamic and symptomatic benefits of compression garments in the patients with POTS.

Key learning objectives:

The diagnostic criteria for POTS
Outline non-pharmacological management of POTS
Explain the hemodynamic effects of compression garments in POTS
