Scientists probe hidden cause of dizzying disorder
NCT ID NCT00962949
Summary
This study aimed to understand how the body's system for regulating salt and fluid (the renin-aldosterone axis) works in people with Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). Researchers compared 28 people with POTS to healthy volunteers by measuring changes in blood pressure and hormone levels after a one-hour saline infusion. The goal was to gather basic knowledge about the disease process, not to test a treatment.
