Recommended priorities for POTS clinical care and research.

Clinical care priorities

• Improve POTS education and awareness for medical providers

• Develop standard algorithms for diagnosis and treatment

• Establish diagnostic criteria to help identify POTS subtypes and tailor therapy

• Engage multidisciplinary networks of care

Research priorities

• Better define the role of genetic and associated disease factors

• Define the natural history of the disease

• Investigate the role of autoimmunity and autoantibodies in POTS

• Create a national/international consortium of academic centers

• Develop POTS-specific rating scales and outcome measures as standardized common data elements

• Create common data elements and definitions for use across both clinical and research approaches

• Conduct properly-controlled and randomized clinical research trials
