O161 The effect of food intake on patients with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of food intake on heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) in patients with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). Inforty-two subjects (13 males, mean age 29.74±10.61) who fulfilled POTS criteria on an initial tilt table test, a second tes...

Description
Summary:The aim of this study was to determine the effect of food intake on heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) in patients with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). Inforty-two subjects (13 males, mean age 29.74±10.61) who fulfilled POTS criteria on an initial tilt table test, a second test was performed: 10-min supine phase followed by a 10-min 70° tilted phase, after the ingestion of 400ml of Nutridrink Multi Fibre® 45-min supine phase followed by a 10-min 70° tilted phase ensued. Subjects were divided into three groups: (A) difference (Δ) in HR (standing vs. supine) before the meal ⩾30 (N=13); (B) ΔHR before the meal
