摘要
Background: Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) and dysautonomia following a SARS-CoV-2 infection have been recently reported. The underlying mechanism of dysautonomia is not well understood. The impact of this viral illness on the underlying autonomic symptoms has not been studied in patients with a pre-existing POTS diagnosis. Our study aims to report the impact of a COVID-19 infection on patients with preexisting POTS, both during the acute phase of the disease and post-recovery. Methods: Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval was obtained to access charts of the study subjects. All patients with known POTS disease who acquired COVID-19 infection between April 2020 and May 2021 were included. The end point of the study was worsening POTS related symptoms including orthostatic dizziness, palpitation, fatigue and syncope/ presyncope post COVID-19 infection that required escalation of therapy. Basic demographics, details of POTS diagnosis, medications, Additional information regarding COVID 19 infection, duration of illness, need for hospitalization, worsening of POTS symptoms, need for ED visits, the type of persisting symptoms and vaccination status were obtained from the retrospective chart review. Results: A total of 41 patients were studied. The alpha-variant was the most common causing SARS-CoV-2 infection. 27% (11 patients) of them had tested positive for COVID- 19 infection more than once. About 38 (92.7%) of them reported having worsening of their baseline POTS symptoms during the active infection phase. About 28 patients (68%) experienced worsening of their dysautonomia symptoms for at least 1-6 months post infection. Nearly 30 patients (73.2%) required additional therapy for their symptom control and improvement. Conclusions: Patients with pre-existing POTS, most experienced a worsening of their baseline autonomic symptoms after suffering the COVID-19 infection which required additional pharmacotherapy for their symptom improvement.
