Summary

This study looked at how certain hormones (renin and aldosterone) affect blood pressure in people with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). Researchers measured changes in blood pressure and hormone levels after a one-hour infusion. The goal was to better understand what causes POTS, not to test a treatment. 28 adults with POTS and healthy volunteers took part.
