Agenda

Overall goal: 
Patients with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) require a team approach in their management. Unfortunately, it can take 2-5 years to make the diagnosis of POTS due to multisystem involvement leading to a variety of symptoms. Physicians and other providers, including cardiologists/electrophysiologists, neurologists, primary care physicians, psychiatrists and allied health professionals caring for POTS patients are experiencing changes in health care delivery and demand. Primary care physicians encounter patients with arrhythmia symptoms and syncope, and must determine a patient’s risk and appropriately manage the patient and refer to specialist(s) as needed.

This educational meeting serves to improve the knowledge and competence among primary care physicians, neurologists, and cardiologists as it relates to current diagnosis and treatment of POTS patients.
