Investigators from the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai validated the link between a debilitating heart condition and COVID-19 and, to a lesser extent, a novel link between the same condition and COVID-19 vaccination.
vaccinated against COVID-19 may develop postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, or POTS.
"From this analysis, we found that the odds of developing POTS are higher 90 days after vaccine exposure than the 90 days prior to exposure," said Kwan."We also found that the relative odds of POTS were higher than would be explained by increases in visits to physicians after vaccination or infection."
Many patients—especially those who developed POTS prior to the COVID-19 pandemic—spent years trying to get properly diagnosed. This is because many health care providers are unfamiliar with the disease and its symptoms, which often can be incorrectly attributed toor other conditions. However, COVID-19 has expanded the medical field's understanding of POTS.
