Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
We report on two previously healthy patients who developed severe form of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) following an electric injury. Both the patients developed symptoms of orthostatic intolerance in the form of dizziness, fatigue, lightheadedness, and palpitations, weeks to months after electrical injury. Orthostatic intolerance produced considerable functional impairment in these patients. Early recognition of POTS when it occurs after an electrical injury allows for prompt evaluation and management to occur. |
