Summary

This study looks at how the brain works in 120 adolescents with POTS, a condition causing rapid heart rate and dizziness when standing. Researchers will use brain scans and questionnaires to see if a problem in the brain's threat-detection system explains symptoms. The goal is to better understand the condition, not to test a new treatment.
