A disorder called Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, or what is commonly referred to as POTS, has been on the rise in recent years in both adults and children. While surgery is not required, for children with cardiovascular symptoms of POTS, the Lurie Children's Heart Center team has taken a forward-thinking approach to treating the condition. Expanding its resources to meet increased demands, Lurie Children’s POTS program has become one of the few comprehensive programs for pediatric cases of POTS. In this episode, Jillian Myers, director of the POTS Program and Brittany Holst, a senior exercise physiologist within the program, discuss POTS in children, its ties to COVID-19 and other viral illnesses and treatment options that emphasize exercise and hydration.
