| Abstract |
Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a debilitating disease that predominantly affects young women. It is a multifactorial disorder that is characterized by severe tachycardia and orthostatic intolerance. Patients with POTS experience a variety of cardiac, neurological, and immunological symptoms that significantly reduce quality of life. In this review, a comprehensive framework is provided to aid in helping identify and treat patients with POTS. Given its heterogenous nature, it is crucial to understand each component of POTS in relation to one another instead of distinct parts. The framework highlights the overlap among the five main subtypes of POTS based on its pathophysiology (neuropathic, hypovolemic, primary hyperadrenergic, joint-hypermobility-related, and immune-related). Emphasis is placed on incorporating a multidisciplinary approach when treating patients with POTS, especially with a new focus towards immunotherapy. Although research has advanced our knowledge of POTS, there is still a critically unmet need to further our understanding and provide patients with the relief they need. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 33. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 20 December 2019.
All research outputs
#1,237,077
of 25,750,437 outputs
Outputs from Drugs
#104
of 3,483 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#26,048
of 342,894 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Drugs
#1
of 34 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,750,437 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 95th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,483 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.0. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 97% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 342,894 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 92% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 34 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 97% of its contemporaries.
