Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), also called postural autonomic tachycardia, is a condition marked by an unusually rapid rise in heart rate when transitioning from a sitting or lying position to standing. This prevalent blood circulation disorder is estimated to affect between 1 and 3 million Americans. POTS is also a form of dysautonomia, a disorder of the autonomic nervous system.
