Introduction Postural tachycardia syndrome is a form of orthostatic intolerance that often leads to functional impairment. Methods This survey explored functional status and impact of symptoms in adults ( n = 958) ages 18 to 60 (M = 32.63 ± 10.52 years, 96.7% female) with postural tachycardia syndrome. Results Individuals reported an average of 11 daily life activities impacted by postural tachycardia syndrome with high levels of self-perceived disability. Additionally, 93.4% reported some degree of cognitive impairment and falls occurred in 55.3% of participants annually. Despite frequent falls and functional impairment, participants infrequently (26.9%) utilized therapy services. Conclusion Individuals with postural tachycardia syndrome are at an increased risk of experiencing disability and often require assistance with daily activities. Further research is necessary to understand the potential role of therapy in improving function and quality of life.

AbstractThe autonomic nervous system (ANS) can be affected by COVID-19, and dysautonomia may be a possible complication in post-COVID individuals. Orthostatic hypotension (OH) and postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) have been suggested to be common after SARS-CoV-2 infection, but other components of ANS function may be also impaired. The Composite Autonomic Symptom Scale 31 (COMPASS-31) questionnaire is a simple and validated tool to assess dysautonomic symptoms. The aim of the present study was to administer the COMPASS-31 questionnaire to a sample of post-COVID patients with and without neurological complaints. Participants were recruited among the post-COVID ambulatory services for follow-up evaluation between 4 weeks and 9 months from COVID-19 symptoms onset. Participants were asked to complete the COMPASS-31 questionnaire referring to the period after COVID-19 disease. Heart rate and blood pressure were manually taken during an active stand test for OH and POTS diagnosis. One-hundred and eighty participants were included in the analysis (70.6% females, 51 ± 13 years), and OH was found in 13.8% of the subjects. Median COMPASS-31 score was 17.6 (6.9–31.4), with the most affected domains being orthostatic intolerance, sudomotor, gastrointestinal and pupillomotor dysfunction. A higher COMPASS-31 score was found in those with neurological symptoms (p < 0.01), due to more severe orthostatic intolerance symptoms (p < 0.01), although gastrointestinal (p < 0.01), urinary (p < 0.01), and pupillomotor (p < 0.01) domains were more represented in the non-neurological symptoms group. This study confirms the importance of monitoring ANS symptoms as a possible complication of COVID-19 disease that may persist in the post-acute period.
