New 🇦🇺 data from our POTS registry: teens & adults experience POTS differently. - Teens: worse orthostatic symptoms - Adults: more gut & bladder issues Both report = poor QoL. Proud to author this work. 👉 doi.org/10.5694/mja2.52710 @ADARC_UoA @DH_Lau @sahmriAU @AustralianPots

Thrilled to share our published study on cerebral hypoperfusion in #POTS! Findings highlight key implications for clinical management and future research into autonomic disorders. Read more: rdcu.be/d7UFW @sahmriAU @CelineGallaghe2 @DH_Lau @ADARC_UoA #Dysautonomia
Novel brain SPECT imaging unravels abnormal cerebral perfusion in patients with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome and cognitive dysfunction 🔥Elegant and interesting Australian study on POTS/Cognitive dysfunction(56 patients). #LC ➡️Moderate to severe autonomic dysfunction in 75% ➡️Abnormal cerebral blood flow (CBF) was seen in 61% ➡️There is a high prevalence of reduced cerebral perfusion in those with POTS, which is detectable with supine brain SPECT imaging and is associated with diminished quality of life. ➡️The most frequently affected areas are prefrontal lateral and sensorimotor cortices.🤔🤔🤔 ➡️Reduced cerebral perfusion appears to be more prevalent in those with comorbid joint hypermobility syndrome and independent of POTS triggers. ➡️These results highlight the need for further research to delineate the etiology and mechanistic pathways underlying neurovascular dysfunction in post-viral and autonomic syndromes including long-COVID. ‼️And again…….its not “between the ears” or FND! Please take this seriously! Don’t let SarsCoV2 f.ck with your brains and Vagal nerve! nature.com/articles/s41598-0…

Our goal? 3000 signatures to show @ausgov and @nhmrc we need funding to support #POTS research.
So close to our goal! Sign the @AustralianPots petition to show support for funding for #POTS research. @ausgov “The rise in POTS diagnoses since 2020 signifies an urgent need for funding for this debilitating illness.” chng.it/Nt5qkyxG via @ChangeAUS

Privileged to be speaking at @WASchoolNurses conference today to raise awareness of #POTS and #longCOVID amongst adolescents. #schoolnurses are at coal face of this epidemic and need better resources. @Ausgov needs to fund patient bodies like @AustralianPots to deliver these.
